Women should exercise regularly and eat more beef and mutton to expel cold from their bodies.

Women are naturally prone to a cold constitution, so never prioritize beauty over health. In winter, keeping your legs warm is crucial. Once exposed to cold, it can affect blood circulation, slowing down the flow of qi and blood. This leads to cold hands and feet, and over time, can cause leg obesity. During menstruation, women may experience symptoms like blood clots, lower abdominal pain, and a cold uterus. A slow flow of qi and blood can also lead to a cold stomach, manifesting as increased hunger and a larger appetite, creating a vicious cycle that加重 the burden on the stomach. Furthermore, insufficient blood supply to other parts of the body can lead to insomnia, forgetfulness, and a series of issues like arthritis.

What methods can be used to expel heavy internal cold?

First, you must persist in exercising. Although winter clothing is bulky and inconvenient for movement, you can still choose gentler forms of exercise, such as yoga, jogging, and so on. You can also take regular baths or use moxibustion on specific areas to help expel internal cold. If you're afraid of the trouble or are not confident in your own technique, it's best to seek professional help. Some high-tech instruments introduced by beauty salons can effectively help the body expel dampness and cold.

In winter, you can eat beef and mutton to keep warm, and the calories are relatively not high. You can also make soups with red dates, longans, and lotus seeds to beautify your skin. However, longans can easily cause "internal heat," so you shouldn't eat too many.

Is it contradictory to use food for nourishment in winter while trying to lose weight?

Actually, it's not contradictory. The food nourishment we often talk about is a habit that requires long-term persistence; it's not effective just by eating a bit more for one or two meals. Moreover, "nourishment" should be in moderation, and excessive eating will definitely have side effects. Nourishment also needs to be selective; you need to understand what your body needs and then address the specific problem. In fact, when the weather is cold, the body needs to burn more calories to maintain its temperature balance. However, while nourishing, you should also pay attention to maintaining your original dietary structure. You can eat a little more, but be sure to consume the extra food during the day and stop eating after 8 PM.
