It's getting colder, but why are there more people suffering from "heatiness"? Let's study it together today:

Why is it easier to get angry in winter?

The three most common types of fire in winter

How to prevent getting angry ?

01 Winter "heat"

When it comes to "getting angry", many people first think of symptoms such as dry eyes, sore throat , dry nose and bleeding . In fact, there are certain differences in the description of "getting angry" in traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

An article published in Life Times mentioned that in modern medicine, getting "getting angry" usually refers to an inflammatory reaction , such as swollen and sore eyes , swollen and sore throat , etc.

"Getting angry" is a folk slang, also known as "heat". In traditional Chinese medicine, getting angry is divided into " internal fire " and " external fire ".

"Internal fire" is often caused by "emotional fire" and "food fire" due to internal emotional anxiety and unbalanced dietary structure , while "external fire" is caused by excessive warmth and nourishment for people with strong constitutions.
The reason why it is easy to get angry in winter is related to the following reasons:

First of all, as winter approaches, the weather becomes colder and the climate becomes relatively dry, and the moisture in the air also decreases.

Such an external environment will, to a certain extent , cause the human body's pores to shrink , reduce sweat gland secretion, and slow down metabolism.

Secondly, in terms of diet, people tend to like to eat some high-calorie foods , such as hot pot, barbecue, stew, etc. These foods can easily cause internal heat to rise to a certain extent.
In addition, modern people's fast pace of life, high work pressure, irregular diet, lack of exercise and other bad living habits can also lead to yin deficiency and excessive fire in the body to a certain extent, resulting in "getting angry" symptoms.

02 Three Most Common Types of Fire in Winter

As winter approaches, people pay more attention to keeping warm, but if they do not pay attention to moderation while keeping warm, it may have the opposite effect and induce getting a sore throat.

1. "Dryness" caused by baking

The climate is dry in winter. There is heating in the north and air conditioning in the south. Some people also use electric blankets , electric heaters and other heating equipment. These methods may aggravate the indoor dryness to a certain extent.

Living in this kind of environment for a long time will easily lead to symptoms of " dryness and heat ", such as chapped lips , dry throat , thirst and desire to drink . In severe cases, symptoms such as dry cough may also occur to a certain extent.

2. "Dampness and Heat" Caused by Eating

In order to keep out the cold, many people like to eat hot pot , mutton and other foods when the weather is cold.

When too much of this type of food is consumed in a short period of time, the spleen and stomach will produce damp heat, namely "damp fire", to a certain extent due to poor transportation and transformation .

Common symptoms include sticky and bitter taste in the mouth, fullness in the stomach, poor appetite, yellow and greasy tongue coating, yellow urine, and difficult bowel movements.

3. "Cold wrapped in fire" caused by freezing

Some people find themselves getting too hot, so they try to reduce the heat by wearing less clothes .

In fact, the internal heat needs to be evacuated and cleared away . If you simply rely on external cold air to get rid of the heat, to a certain extent, it will easily lead to another disease syndrome - cold enveloping fire .

Cold enveloping fire can manifest in two forms: cold and chronic "heat":

Cold: This is an acute manifestation, which may cause symptoms such as fever, chills , sore throat, etc.

Chronic "getting angry": the body always feels cold , hands and feet are cold, and there are frequent sores in the mouth, dry and bitter mouth, acne on the face, etc.

03 How to prevent getting angry

1. Ensure adequate drinking water

In winter, you must drink plenty of water. Adequate water can help you avoid getting hot in winter to a certain extent.

When the water content of people's body reaches 10% of their body weight , they will experience symptoms such as irritability, general weakness, and fever to a certain extent.

Therefore, it is very important to drink enough water every day.

2. Learn to regulate your emotions

Negative emotions are also the main factor causing getting angry. Long-term bad mood and excessive stress can easily cause organ dysfunction to a certain extent , thus causing getting angry.

It is recommended that people who are prone to getting angry should learn to regulate their emotions as much as possible, try to keep a stable mentality and a good mood, and avoid long-term depression and sulking.

When you encounter unpleasant things, learn to talk about them in time and don't keep them in your heart.

3. Develop good living habits

Staying up late, poor sleep, overtime, many social engagements and a series of other reasons can cause hormone disorders and lead to getting angry to a certain extent.

In particular, the unhealthy habit of staying up late will, to a certain extent, make the body miss the golden period of recovery , and the body's functions may change if this continues for a long time.
People who have poor sleep quality and are in a state of long-term physical strain are more likely to accumulate anger to a certain extent.

4. Avoid spicy food as much as possible

In daily life, if friends consume too much chili peppers, it may cause body inflammation, and they are prone to symptoms of inflammation such as constipation, burning during urination , and burning in the anus .

5. Avoid consuming too much fruit with high sugar content as much as possible

Regularly eating fruits with high sugar content such as oranges, lychees, longans, etc. can easily increase the accumulation of sugar in the body to a certain extent.

The metabolism of sugar in the human body requires the participation of B vitamins . Excessive intake of sugar can easily lead to insufficient levels of B vitamins in the body, causing symptoms of getting angry.

In addition, sugar can easily breed bacteria in the mouth and damage teeth, so it is recommended that friends try to consume some fruits with low sugar content such as grapefruit, orange, apple, etc. in daily life.
