Probably, each of us has memories of a huge number of warm woolen socks, bound by the good hands of our grandmothers. They were given a new year, a birthday, and just like that, without any reason. And not because our grandmothers had nothing to do, they just knew: keep your feet warm. You never asked: "Why?"
The thing is that our body is literally "stuffed" with temperature receptors. They, in turn, are connected to a certain organ through the central nervous system. On the soles of our feet are receptors, which are directly linked to the receptors on the nasal mucosa. As soon as the legs are supercooled, the signal for this comes to the respiratory organs. Almost like in the five-story building - on the first floor they sneeze, on the fifth they say "Be healthy!". That's why a cold is a natural reaction to drenched cold feet. But a runny nose and sore throat are not so bad. The impulse from the chilled legs before going to the "upper floor", the nasopharynx, passes through the kidneys. And from them - directly to the genitourinary system.By the way, Tibetan monks generally believe that the kidneys "oversee" the entire lower body. From the state of the kidneys, according to many experts, the state of the pelvic muscles and hip joints depends. In other words, hypothermia of the feet can cause chapped kidneys and lead to the development of arthrosis. Interestingly, supporters of traditional medicine practice a special foot massage with kidney disease.
In the deepest part of the foot of a person there is a point, which is the beginning of the so-called meridian of the kidneys. It rises up the inside of the foot through the ankle along the entire leg, passes through the lower back directly to the kidney, and grabs the organs of the genitourinary system. That's why very often the cause of impotence in men is the common cold, caused by hypothermia of the feet. If a cold does not heal and carry on its feet, as modern men often like to do, there is a high risk of early termination of their sexual activity. The same is true for women.
Another thing is when your feet are always cold. And not in the street, but in a warm house. Your husband quietly walks barefoot around the apartment, and you have cold feet, even in woolen socks and fluffy slippers. Common situation? For women - yes. Because the female body is so arranged. Muscle mass we have less than men, the ratio of hormones is also different, and the metabolic rate is different. All these factors together influence the blood flow in the limbs.
In principle, cold feet are a normal reaction to any hypothermia. But if limbs are cold for no apparent reason, then you need to pay attention to your health. Thus, increased or decreased blood pressure can affect the blood flow in the joints of the legs. By the way, the main enemy of blood vessels is cholesterol, which clogs them and makes it difficult for the blood to flow to the extremities. Hence the constant feeling of cold in the legs. Constantly freezing legs and some other diseases - they can only be revealed by a doctor.
Legs can chilly and because of uncomfortable shoes. Narrow noses often squeeze the foot, and the bootlegs squeeze the vessels. Hence the lack of blood flowing to the tissues of the legs, and, as a result, a feeling of cold.
To keep your feet free from frost, you must follow simple rules. Firstly, dress according to the weather. But there is also no need to wrap around - overheating may threaten the violation of thermoregulation. Secondly, try to eat more foods containing vitamin C, which helps restore the flexibility of the joints.
Still there is a way to get rid of feeling of a cold in legs or foots - zakalivanie. This procedure, by the way, is useful for prevention of hypothermia of feet in autumn and winter. Only before you begin to temper, consult with your doctor, because not everyone is shown this procedure for health reasons.
