What causes men's feet to get cold?

Many people have cold hands and feet, especially in the cold winter, the phenomenon of cold hands and feet will become more serious. There are many reasons for cold hands and feet. If you have cold hands and feet in winter, you may have caught a cold. If you have cold hands and feet all year round, you should pay attention. In life, many men also have cold hands and feet. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. Only by finding out the reasons can we truly relieve the phenomenon of cold hands and feet.

What causes men's feet to get cold?

1. This is mainly because the temperature in nature drops, the yang is insufficient, and the human body's own yang is also insufficient, and the body shows signs of yang deficiency. In addition, because of the cold weather, the body's blood vessels contract and the blood return capacity will be weakened, making the hands and feet, especially the fingertips, have poor blood circulation, which is what people often call "poor peripheral circulation", causing the hands and feet to always feel cold.

2. People who do mental work are more likely to have cold hands and feet than those who do physical work, but it rarely happens in healthy young men. Coldness can cause poor blood circulation in the whole body or part of a person, or blood circulation disorders in the extremities of the body, which can lead to cold hands and feet.

3. Long-term cold hands and feet can be called "cold syndrome". This is a reaction to Qi deficiency, Qi stagnation, and insufficient Yang. If not prevented in time, it will lead to poor spirits and physical chills. In severe cases, it can also cause varicose veins in the lower limbs. Usually, you should soak your feet in hot water more often, which can warm the body and relieve tired nerves. You can also use local acupoint massage and diet to regulate it.

What to do if your feet are cold

Strengthen physical exercise

Especially those who sit or stand for long periods of time must pay attention to work breaks and do more exercises for their hands, feet and waist to enhance blood circulation.

Soak your hands and feet every day

Soaking your feet is the most effective method. Add 40-degree hot water to a deep basin and let the water cover your ankles. After soaking for about 20 minutes, you will feel your whole body getting hot, which means that the body starts to get hot after the blood circulation is smooth. If you rub your feet while soaking your feet, the effect will be better.

Calorie-enriching foods

In cold weather, you should intentionally take in some supplements to increase your calories and improve cold hands and feet. In the cold winter in the north, you can take warm foods, such as beef, mutton or dog meat; while in the milder south, you should take sweet and warm foods, such as chicken, duck and fish; and try to eat less cold fruits, such as pears and water chestnuts.

Massage hands and feet

When you have time, you can rub the palms and soles of your feet frequently to improve the microcirculation of the terminal blood vessels and have the effect of warming your hands and feet.

Rub the Yongquan acupoint

Yongquan acupoint is located in the center of the foot. Rub it quickly with your palm until you feel warm. Rub the Yongquan acupoint 100 times every morning and evening, and then rub each toe 100 times. Chinese medicine believes that many meridians in the human body converge at the sole of the foot, which is closely related to all the internal organs, tissues and organs in the body. In particular, stimulating the Yongquan acupoint is beneficial to nourishing the kidneys, strengthening yang, and strengthening tendons and bones. Persistent rubbing of this acupoint will help alleviate the symptoms of cold hands and feet.

Aerobic exercise

Jogging, brisk walking, skipping rope, disco dancing, Tai Chi, etc., can make all parts of the body move and promote blood circulation, but do not exercise excessively. High-intensity exercise and heavy sweating will "release yang energy" and have the opposite effect.

Get enough sleep

At least 6 hours of sleep should be guaranteed every day. Adequate sleep is conducive to storing yang energy and accumulating yin essence.
