Many women have coldness in the body. Generally, feeling cold hands and feet is a manifestation of deficiency cold. The causes can be both innate and influenced by后天 factors. Therefore, when women have coldness in the body, they should pay more attention to physical exercise, add or subtract clothes when the weather changes, and adjust their diet in daily life. Now let’s talk about what to eat to regulate the body’s coldness in women.

1. Ginger tea

Ginger tea has both diuretic effects and warming body effects. Develop the habit of drinking 3-5 cups a day, and the body will become warmer and the skin smoother. Preparation: Put finely chopped ginger into black tea, then add black sugar or honey to sweeten. If time is limited, tea bags and tube-shaped ginger products can also be used. Put sliced ginger into water and boil, then add tea bags. When feeling cold, heat it up in the microwave oven.

2. Eat more apples and less bananas

Foods produced in the south and foods in summer can cause coldness, so they should be controlled more. For example, foods such as coffee or bananas from warm regions (south) and summer foods like watermelons will make the body feel cold, while foods from the north can warm the body. Therefore, it is better to choose northern fruits like apples in summer.

3. Yin foods should be eaten after being heated

White foods such as milk and tofu, as well as green vegetables, belong to ‘Yin’ and are easy to cause coldness in the body. However, after being processed with warmth, they can be converted into ‘Yang’. Therefore, it is also possible to consume foods that cause coldness after being heated and processed.
