Two days before the beginning of winter, the weather suddenly became colder. The colleagues who were fighting together in the office all carried their electric warmer pad. This time, I can really feel the atmosphere of winter.
Many female colleagues feel cold hands and feet, which seems to be a consensus among us. The cold hands and feet are mainly caused by poor blood circulation. In addition to be chained to the desk for a long time, we have to sit still all morning. In this case, we will only feel more and more cold on our feet.
Usually when we talk about products that promote blood circulation, we first think of Chinese herbal medicines such as ginseng, codonopsis, angelica sinensis, and astragalus, but we rarely take Chinese medicine to adjust our body, and some people refuse to take it because of its bitter taste. What common vegetables and fruits can be used as a substitute? You can find some here.
Orange peel: Hesperidin, the active ingredient in orange peel, can reduce the fragility of capillaries, protect capillaries, prevent microvascular rupture and hemorrhage, and promote the internal circulation of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular;
Ginger: Gingerol in ginger can make cells swell, congestive and dilate blood vessels, thereby promoting metabolism and blood circulation, making people feel hot, and the effect is similar to capsaicin;
Motherwort: Motherwort is a good medicine for gynecology. There's a long history in our country of using Motherwort since ancient times. It can activate blood and remove blood stasis, replenish qi and blood, promote blood circulation and warm the uterus. It can be boiled and drunk daily. The active ingredient of Motherwort is mainly Leonurin, which has the effect of dilating blood vessels and resisting adrenaline, and is usually used for postpartum uterine recovery.
In addition to the three common ingredients mentioned above, beef and mutton are also a good helper for warming up, especially the beef and mutton soup stewed with traditional Chinese herbal medicines, which can be eaten in winter.
