Why is it easier for people to get angry in winter when the weather is cold?

Although the climate is very cold in winter, people usually wear thicker clothes, live in warmer places, move less, and prefer warm and spicy food. This causes heat to accumulate in the body, which is not easy to dissipate and can easily lead to internal heat inflammation.

Why is it that in winter when the weather is cold, people tend to get angry easily?

In fact, the truth is very clear and you can understand it at once. Because, although the climate is very cold in winter, people usually wear thicker clothes, live in warmer places, move less, and prefer warm and spicy food. This causes heat to accumulate in the body, which is not easy to dissipate and can easily lead to internal heat inflammation.

Think about it, especially in the northern region, the climate is very dry, and with the widespread use of heating indoors, the chances of people getting "inflamed" may occur at any time.

Never underestimate the symptoms of "getting angry". It can not only cause symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat, chapped mouth, nosebleeds, toothache, loss of appetite, but in severe cases it can also lead to diseases such as mouth ulcers, constipation, hemorrhoids, and more seriously, it destroys the body's immunity and provides opportunities for the invasion and recurrence of various diseases.

If we pay attention to the problem of "excessive heat", it will help the body to recuperate in time, maintain the balance of yin and yang in the human body, and reduce the occurrence of winter diseases.

Why do people easily get angry in winter?

There are many specific factors that cause "getting angry". In summer, getting angry is usually caused by heat and humidity, while in winter, getting angry is more caused by "dryness".

First, the cold and dry winter weather and the hot indoor environment will reduce the purification function of the tracheal mucosa, directly leading to dryness of the nose, throat, etc., and affecting the balance and stability of the body's metabolism. If you do not pay attention to dietary adjustment and water replenishment, it is easy to cause imbalance of yin and yang and lead to "getting angry".

Second, people like to eat beef and mutton to keep warm in winter. For example, hot pot, barbecue, and shabu-shabu are all very popular winter foods. However, beef and mutton are warm in nature, and when combined with spicy ingredients such as onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers, and nourishing foods such as cinnamon, ginger, wolfberry, and angelica, it can be said to be "adding dryness to dryness". After eating it, people are prone to heat accumulation in the body, causing "getting angry".

Third, irregular work and rest schedules, insufficient rest at night, and excessive fatigue are also important causes of getting angry.

When the human body is inflamed, it is necessary to distinguish between "false and real"

First, there are symptoms of getting angry. When you feel hot all over, your lips are chapped, and you feel uneasy, everyone knows that you are suffering from heatstroke.

Second, symptoms can be divided into true or false. "Getting angry" can be divided into "false" and "real". Friends, please remind you that if you have symptoms of getting angry, you should not make judgments based on your own experience. You should distinguish between false and real and then "put out the fire" accordingly.

Third, identify the symptoms of deficiency fire. In traditional Chinese medicine, "deficient fire" generally refers to a yin deficiency constitution, which leads to the pathological phenomenon of rising deficient fire. The main symptoms are weight loss, soreness of waist and knees, dry throat and tongue, dizziness and tinnitus, forgetfulness and insomnia, or dry cough and shortness of breath, or blood in sputum, dry mouth and throat, hoarseness, hot flashes and irritability, red tongue with little fluid, and thin and rapid pulse.

Fourth, if you have real fire, look at the triple burner. Triple Burner, Chinese medicine divides the human body into upper, middle and lower burners. Real fire in the upper burner refers to signs of heat in the upper parts of the human body, such as the heart and lungs, and manifests as dry mouth, sore tongue, chapped lips, red eyes, tinnitus, and slight cough; real fire in the middle burner refers to signs of fire in the spleen and stomach, and manifests as hyperactivity of stomach fire, not feeling full after eating, and loss of appetite; real fire in the lower burner refers to fire in the lower liver, kidneys, bladder, large and small intestines, and manifests as dry stools, constipation, and red urine.

What should we do if the body is getting angry?

Generally speaking, if the inflammation is mild, you can adjust it by yourself. For example, increase indoor humidity, improve diet structure and living habits, stop eating spicy food, and appropriately choose some "sweet and cold" foods to restrain "fire", stop drinking, smoking or staying up late, pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene, rinse your mouth frequently, drink plenty of water, rest more, and often go outdoors for exercise, sweat more, increase body surface heat dissipation, and increase the body's metabolic rate.

If the symptoms of "getting hot" are still obvious and have not improved for more than a week, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. Take "clearing heat" medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

Nutritionist Li Wei specially reminds: Do not take "clearing heat" drugs at will. Improper use or excessive use may backfire. Especially for some special groups, such as the elderly, children or people with underlying diseases, taking "clearing heat" drugs should be more cautious.

To prevent fire in the human body, we must learn to moisturize and eat well

Modern people tend to take the approach of extinguishing fires and eliminating disasters after the fact. When you eat too much irritating food, when you often live an irregular life, when your body is in a state of fire, then you will want to take fire-fighting measures hurriedly.

In fact, "fire prevention" in advance is more important. To avoid getting angry, the following five points are recommended:

(1) Ensure indoor air humidity. Usually, the indoor air humidity should be maintained. A basin of water can be placed in the heated room or air-conditioned room, or a humidifier can be installed to maintain the room humidity at about 50%;

(2) Remember to replenish water at all times. Regularly replenish the body's water, drink warm water or herbal teas such as mint, bitter tea, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, etc. to cool down the body's dryness and heat and promote epidermal circulation;

(3) Pay attention to maintaining a balanced diet. Eat meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, etc. in a balanced way, control the frequency of eating spicy food, eat more heat-clearing vegetables such as mung bean sprouts, tofu, bitter melon, loofah, radish, papaya, pumpkin, cabbage, etc.; eat less fried and grilled food, such as longan, cabbage, celery, dried bamboo shoots, etc.;

(4) Pay attention to supplementing cool fruits. For example, eat some pears, apples, bananas, hawthorns, sugar canes and other fruits that can quench thirst, moisten the throat and relieve dryness, and eat less "heaty" fruits such as lychees, pineapples, mangoes and oranges to help "clear heat";

(5) Pay attention to maintaining a regular life. Pay more attention to your living habits, maintain a scientific life routine, keep a regular schedule, ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, avoid excessive fatigue, and reduce the possibility of getting "getting angry".
