reason

1. The heart is weak and cannot supply blood to the extremities of the body.

2. There is not enough blood in the body, and the hemoglobin and red blood cells are low.

3. Blockage in the blood vessels, or fever, cold, etc. will affect the central nervous system of the brain and cause cold hands and feet.

4. Low blood sugar or low blood pressure

5. Kidney Yang Deficiency

In daily life, you can pay attention to:

1. Exercise regularly

Walk forward with big strides at a speed faster than walking but slower than running, swinging your hands, for 30 minutes to promote blood circulation. You can also try simple stair climbing or jumping on the spot for 20 minutes, until you sweat a little, which will help enhance your body's ability to regulate temperature.

2. Take more vitamin E

Vitamin E can dilate peripheral blood vessels and is very helpful for smooth peripheral blood circulation. However, the effect of vitamin E is slow and must be continued for 3 months to be effective. In addition, 210-250IU must be taken every day to be sufficient.

3. Eat more foods containing niacin

Niacin is very helpful for stabilizing the nervous system and circulatory system. It can also improve nervous tension, nervous diarrhea, dermatitis, and dilate peripheral blood vessels to improve cold hands and feet. Niacin is found in animal liver, eggs, milk, cheese, brown rice, whole wheat products, sesame, mushrooms, peanuts, mung beans, coffee, etc.

Coffee is rich in it.

4. Eat more nuts and carrots

Warm up your body through daily food supplements, such as nuts like walnut kernels, sesame seeds, pine nuts; vegetables like leeks, carrots, cabbage, spinach, etc.; fruits like apricots, peaches, papaya, etc., are all the best choices. Other foods such as beef, mutton, seafood, rice, glutinous rice, brown rice, soybeans, tofu, sesame seeds, brown sugar... are all warm foods and are the ingredients that people with cold hands and feet should choose more.

5. Develop a habit of eating spicy food

Chili pepper, pepper, mustard, garlic, green onion, curry, etc. Spices can promote blood circulation. They can be eaten with food in daily life. For example, add some chili sauce when eating fried noodles or rice noodles; add more pepper powder when drinking soup; and have a bowl of hot and sour soup when eating dumplings.
