Why Do I Feel Hot Inside but Cold Outside?
Imbalance of Yin and Yang may lead to feeling hot inside but cold outside. Long-term alcohol consumption or frequent consumption of spicy food in daily life may cause internal heat in the body. Excessive internal heat may lead to feeling cold on the surface of the body. Minor cases can be improved by adjusting diet, while more severe cases may require treatment with medication.
2. Yin deficiency can lead to internal heat, while Yang deficiency can lead to external cold. Therefore, it is easy to experience feelings of heat in the palms, feet, and chest, as well as coldness in the extremities and thin stools due to Yang deficiency.
3. It is advisable to consume more vegetables and foods that can reduce heat. Cough symptoms may occur due to nasal discharge caused by a cold. Increasing physical activity is beneficial.
4. If you are determined to have a cold constitution, which is referred to as an acidic constitution in Western medicine, you need to supplement alkaline nutrients, preferably plant-based organic active alkalis. You can consume both cold and hot foods, but do not overeat.
