What should the elderly eat to warm their hands and feet in the cold winter

The main raw materials of jujube and ginger soup are jujube, ginger, and brown sugar. The specific method is: 10 jujubes, 5 slices of ginger, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar. Decoction the soup instead of tea. Take it once a day.

The reason why regular drinking of jujube and ginger soup can improve the symptoms of cold hands and feet is inseparable from the effects of jujube and ginger. Jujube is sweet and warm in nature, and has the effects of tonifying the body, replenishing qi, nourishing blood and calming the nerves; ginger is pungent and warm in nature, and has the effects of warming and stopping vomiting, relieving the surface and dispersing cold.

The combination of the two can give full play to the pungent and warm properties of ginger and the sweet and tonic properties of jujube, and jointly promote the circulation of qi and blood. The blood circulation throughout the body will be correspondingly improved, and the hands and feet will naturally become warm.

In addition, the brown sugar in jujube and ginger soup also has the functions of tonic, nourishing and activating blood. Modern pharmacological research has confirmed that the gingerol contained in ginger has a direct stimulating effect on the heart and vasomotor center, which can accelerate the heartbeat, dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow and smooth the meridians, thereby improving body surface circulation and making people feel warm throughout the body.

We need to remind everyone that ginger is warm in nature. Friends who are often troubled by "excessive heat" symptoms such as gum swelling and pain, oral ulcers, constipation, should not consume too much ginger; the jujube ginger soup contains a lot of sugar, and diabetics should not consume it.
