Warm food: Chinese medicine believes that mutton, dog meat, longan, leek, walnut, millet and other foods have the function of warming yang and benefiting qi, and eating more can improve the ability to keep out the cold. On the contrary, it is best to eat less cold or cold food such as duck, crab, banana, cucumber, watermelon, pear, mung bean and rock sugar.
Women always feel cold, which is related to iron deficiency.
Many women are particularly afraid of the cold. In winter, even in heated rooms, their hands and feet are often cold. There are many factors that cause women to be afraid of cold than men, among which insufficient iron intake is one of the important reasons. Therefore, women who are afraid of cold can eat more iron-rich foods, such as animal blood and liver. Iron in animal food is heme iron, which has a high absorption rate after being ingested by human body, especially in animal blood, and its iron absorption rate can be as high as more than 22%. Plant food, such as auricularia auricula, kelp, sesame, etc. Although the iron content is high, the absorption rate is low, mostly below 10%.
In addition, Chinese medicine believes that women's fear of cold in winter is related to their constitution of yang deficiency and qi and blood deficiency. Therefore, women should not only eat mutton and dog meat, but also make warm food.
