  • /

Introduction
Cold hands and feet is one of the problems that many women face. Especially for women who have a high sense of beauty, cold weather is known to have a negative impact on their physical condition and beauty. In this article, we will introduce the causes of coldness, specific remedies, and countermeasures based on research.

1. Causes of cold hands and feet

There are many causes of cold hands and feet, but the main ones are:

  • Poor blood circulation: Stress and a sedentary lifestyle can restrict blood flow, causing cold hands and feet.
  • Decreased metabolism: As we age, our basal metabolism decreases and we may have trouble regulating our body temperature.
  • Hormone imbalance: Women in particular experience hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, which can affect blood flow.

2. Impact of cold hands and feet on beauty and health

Being cold isn’t just a matter of discomfort; it can also affect your beauty and health.

  • Dull and dry skin: Poor blood flow makes it difficult for nutrients to reach the skin, causing dullness and dryness.
  • Obstruction of diet: Cold weather may slow down your metabolism and make it difficult to burn fat.
  • Fatigue and stress: When your body gets cold, your energy is consumed faster and you get tired easily.

3. How to relieve cold hands and feet

From here, we will introduce specific measures against cold.

3.1. Regular exercise

Light exercise and stretching are very effective in increasing blood circulation. We recommend exercises that allow you to move every part of your body, such as yoga and Pilates.

  • Walking: Incorporating a 20-minute walk into your daily routine will improve blood flow.
  • Stretch: Stretching in the morning and evening to loosen muscles and promote blood circulation.

3.2. Consume hot drinks

Be sure to drink warm drinks to warm your body from the inside. In particular, we recommend drinks that have a warming effect on your body, such as ginger tea and roasted green tea.

  • Ginger water: Ginger has the effect of promoting blood circulation and helps relieve coldness.
  • Hojicha: Low caffeine content, so you can drink it safely even at night.

3.3. How to choose warm clothing and materials

Also pay attention to the material of your clothes. In order to keep your body warm, it is important to choose materials with high heat retention, such as wool and cashmere.

  • Layered clothing: It is effective to layer thermal innerwear such as HEATTECH with a wool sweater.
  • Foot warmer: You can keep your feet warm by using a foot warmer that can be used while working at your desk.

3.4. Regular massage

Promoting blood flow with a massage can also help relieve cold hands and feet. It is especially effective to massage the soles of the feet and palms.

  • Aroma oilSelf-massage using aroma oil: Aroma oil has a relaxing effect, which can refresh your mind and body.

4. Cold measures based on scientific evidence

The latest research also shows that appropriate measures are effective in relieving the cold.

  • Promote blood circulation and improve sensitivity to cold: One study shows that regular exercise and stretching can promote blood flow and improve cold symptoms (Reference link)。
  • Effect of ginger: Many studies have proven that ginger promotes blood circulation and has anti-inflammatory effects (Reference link)。
  • Intake of hot drinks: Drinking hot drinks is said to be effective in maintaining body temperature (Reference link)。
