Kidney patients with cold hands and feet,how to improve the case?

A lot of kidney disease often have cold hands and feet in Winter. What’s more, the hands and feet appeared swelling, cracked skin, commonly seen in female and the elderly.

Chinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet are due to lack of Yang, female and the elderly are congenital lack of Yang, more prone to cold hands and feet in Winter.

The basic reason is due to lack of exercise in winter, resulting in slower metabolism, less heat, inability to maintain a higher body temperature.

Therefore, the most fundamental way is to increase the amount of exercise. Increase the amount of exercise, so you can generate enough heat to ensure the temperature of the hands and feet. The suitable exercises in Winter for kidney patients include jogging, Tai Chi, walking and other low intensity types.

Soak the foot in hot water and often rub hands. This is mainly to stimulate the blood circulation of the extremities to accelerate the production of heat. Note that the hot water soaking will accelerate blood circulation and vasodilation. In a short time is likely to cause fluctuations in blood pressure, so the water temperature is not too high, the time should not be too long (40 degree, 20min is appropriate).

Reduce heat loss.
