I believe everyone must be very familiar with the symptoms of cold hands and feet. Cold hands and feet are common in children. Once a child has symptoms of cold hands and feet, parents must be very worried, fearing that there is something wrong with the child's body. In fact, parents do not need to be so afraid. In the following article, we will introduce to parents and friends how to improve children's cold hands and feet. I hope it will bring some inspiration.

1. Dress appropriately In winter, it is best for children to wear cotton fabrics that are moisture-absorbing, breathable and warm. The outerwear should be slightly loose to facilitate blood circulation and keep the limbs warm and comfortable. When children go out, they should wear coats, gloves, hats, thick socks and non-slip warm shoes. However, they should not wear too many or too tight clothes, so as not to restrict the baby's hands and feet and affect the baby's activities. Children may easily get sick if the temperature is too high. It is better to wear dark clothes in winter. Studies have shown that black clothes absorb 88% of solar radiation, military green 57%, and white 20%. Dark clothes can enable the body to gain more heat, which helps keep hands and feet warm.

2. Use heater to keep warm. Use heater appropriately to keep your hands warm. But be careful, when your baby comes back from playing outside and his hands are frozen and red, you cannot warm them up immediately, and you cannot soak his hands in hot water right away. You have to wait until his hands adapt to the room temperature before warming them up.

3. Dietary adjustment: Add some foods rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements to the baby's diet, such as corn, millet, sweet potatoes, milk, meat, fish, egg yolks, animal liver, nuts, carrots, green vegetables, etc. In addition, you can give your child some calcium D supplements to help improve their immunity and bone development. With good nutrition, children can naturally resist the cold and their hands and feet will become warm.

4. Wash and dry bedding frequently. After being exposed to the sun, the air content in the bedding increases, making it fluffy and improving its warmth retention. In addition, keeping bedding clean can also reduce the harm of bacteria to children. Let your child cover himself with a blanket that has been dried in the sun, and his body, hands and feet will feel warm and comfortable.

5. Moderate exercise: In winter, as long as the weather is sunny, you should take your baby to exercise outdoors, such as brisk walking, jogging, climbing ladders, playing ball, playing games, imitating exercises, etc. Babies who have just learned to stand or walk should also be taken to play on the grass, with adults holding their hands and jumping and hopping around. Outdoor exercise can not only promote the body's heat production and improve the baby's ability to resist cold, but also promote blood circulation in the skin and keep the limbs and feet warm.

6. The room temperature and humidity should be suitable. The indoor temperature should be kept above 18-20℃ and the relative humidity should be around 55%. Pay attention to ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh. If children live in an environment with suitable temperature and humidity, their hands and feet will not become cold.

7. Rub your hands and feet frequently. When rubbing your child’s hands frequently, apply moderate force to the palms and backs of the hands, rub repeatedly to make the child’s hands warm. When rubbing your feet, you should also rub the insteps and soles of your feet repeatedly until they are warm. Pay special attention to massaging the "Yongquan Point" on the center of the foot, which can dredge the meridians and accelerate blood circulation. When the feet are warm, the whole body will be warm.
