How to drive away the cold in the body with a cold constitution? It is important to learn scientific and reasonable methods to eliminate coldness from the body and care for your health. But do you know the specific methods?
How to Drive Away the Cold in a Cold Constitution
1. Pay attention to eating less cold food, such as bitter melon, pear, etc., and try not to eat ice cream, etc.
You can choose foods to drive away the cold based on regional differences. For example, in the northern region, you can eat more warm foods, such as beef and mutton. In the southern region, you can eat foods like chicken and duck.
2. Pay attention to keeping warm. When the weather is cold, increase your clothing in time to prevent the "cold pathogen" from entering the body.
Avoid staying in cold and damp environments and get more sun exposure.
3. Learn to always maintain a cheerful mood, ensure sufficient sleep every day, and avoid staying up late.
If you encounter unpleasant things in work or life, vent them in a timely and appropriate manner, and communicate with your family and friends more.
4. Pay attention to exercise. Aerobic exercises such as jogging and brisk walking can activate the whole body, promote blood circulation, and help alleviate symptoms of coldness. Persisting in exercise can gradually change the cold constitution.
But be careful to avoid high-intensity exercise.
Five Diseases Easily Caused by a Cold Constitution
1. Pain
"Pain" such as headaches, backaches, joint pain, neuralgia, and rheumatism often appear with coldness in the body.
However, these pains usually decrease after the body is warmed up by taking a bath, sauna, or applying heat.
2. Gastroenteritis
Chilling in the abdomen can cause abdominal pain and may lead to diarrhea (watery stool). "Cold", "water", and "pain" are interrelated.
Therefore, consuming too many cold drinks and foods, or exposing the abdomen to cold during sleep, can easily cause abdominal pain and diarrhea.
People with coldness in the body often experience frequent abdominal pain, accompanied by diarrhea or loose stools. Diarrhea is a reaction of the intestines and stomach to expel excess water to warm itself.
However, just like snakes hibernating, if the intestines and stomach are too cold, their activity will be reduced, and it may instead cause "constipation".
3. Allergies
Symptoms of allergies, such as conjunctivitis (tears), rhinitis (sneezing and runny nose), asthma (watery phlegm), dermatitis (eczema), and enteritis (diarrhea), are all reactions of the body to expel excess water to warm itself.
In recent years, the number of allergy patients in Japan has increased rapidly, and one of the main reasons is low body temperature (coldness).
4. Dizziness, tinnitus, vomiting
Meniere's disease, which is accompanied by dizziness and tinnitus, usually occurs when a person is tired, sleep-deprived, or under stress.
In this state, the process of "expelling" in metabolism will be hindered first, leading to urinary obstruction and water retention in the body.
5. Glaucoma
Glaucoma is also more likely to occur in people who consume excessive water and have coldness in the body.
Apply a hot towel soaked in hot water to the eyes once or twice a day, and apply it to the face centered around the eyes for 5 minutes. This usually helps improve glaucoma.
