Cold hands and feet when using air conditioning

We all know that the weather is relatively hot in summer. As soon as we go out, the sun is scorching overhead. Therefore, many people don’t like to go out in summer. They all want to stay at home, enjoy the cool air conditioning and eat chilled watermelon. However, frequent use of air conditioning is indeed very harmful to the body. Some people will have cold hands and feet when using air conditioning. What’s going on? Let me introduce to you

1. Cause analysis

The wind blown by the air conditioner in summer is cold. If you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time and the temperature of the air conditioner is set to a low level, the cold air will invade your body more seriously, and you will easily experience cold hands and feet. If you have a constitution of kidney yang deficiency, the symptoms of cold hands and feet caused by air conditioning will be more obvious. Of course, people with this constitution will also have cold hands and feet in other situations.

2. Solution

When using air conditioning in the summer, it is best to adjust the temperature higher rather than too low. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should be controlled within 7°C. In addition, although it is hot in summer, you still need to drink more hot water and soak your feet in hot water more often at night. When using the air conditioner, you can wear shoes and socks and long pants to prevent your feet from getting directly cold. In normal times, you can eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as red dates, ginger and mutton soup, etc.

3. Warm reminder

In summer, it is not advisable to set the temperature of the air conditioner too low, nor to use it for a long time. It is best to turn off the air conditioner every 2 to 3 hours and open the windows for ventilation to allow the indoor air to circulate and be filled with fresh air. When using air conditioning, you must pay attention to keeping warm, and it is best to do sweating exercises at least twice a week. Proper sweating can help eliminate toxins from the body.
