If you feel cold especially easily, it may be because fat is concentrated in a specific part of your body or your thyroid function is reduced. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]Today (18th) it is expected to be mostly clear across the country. The Korea Meteorological Administration forecast the lowest morning temperature to be 5 to 14 degrees and the highest daytime temperature to be 19 to 25 degrees. The temperature difference between day and night is expected to be very large, at 15 to 20 degrees.
Today’s health = As fall enters full swing, the weather continues to experience large daily temperature differences. The temperature during the day and night differs by about 10 degrees, so the degree to which each person feels cold varies. Some people think it is very cold, while others feel that it is still not cold enough. However, if you get cold more easily than others, you need to check your physical condition.
There are a variety of reasons why you feel cold easily, but a representative example is a lack of muscles in the body. If you lack muscle mass due to lack of exercise, or if your muscles decrease with age, it is difficult for your body to generate enough heat. Muscles play a role in generating heat in the body. This is because many capillaries are distributed in muscles, through which oxygen and nutrients are transported and energy is synthesized. Therefore, if your body has low muscle mass, it is difficult to generate heat and you easily get cold.
You may have often heard that people who are deficient in fat feel cold easily. Fat, which maintains body temperature and absorbs external shocks, helps reduce coldness. However, the location of fat distribution also affects the cold. According to a research team at the University of Pennsylvania, even among people with the same amount of fat, people with more fat in their stomachs were found to be much more susceptible to cold. The analysis is that the arms and legs have a relative lack of fat, so body temperature is maintained well only in the stomach.
In the same context, you can feel cold even if heat occurs only in one part of your body. After overeating or having a late-night snack, blood flows to the stomach and intestines as our body digests the food. As it is said that blood circulation is important, blood must be delivered to all parts of the body for metabolic processes to proceed smoothly and heat to be generated. If heat is generated only in the stomach, other parts of the body will inevitably feel cold.
In addition, people with hypothyroidism, in which thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism are not produced properly, can also get cold easily. If you feel cold easily, it is helpful to do exercises that strengthen body parts with large muscles, such as the buttocks and thighs. In addition, it is recommended to protect the body by warming the neck, which is sensitive to temperature, and warming the hands, feet, and ears. Blood circulation is poor in areas far from the heart.
