Old people often say that "old cold legs" are caused by wearing too few clothes when they were young. Is that really the case?

Every time you wear too little or don't wear long pants in autumn and winter, you will hear the old man at home say that you are old and your legs are cold. Bian Xiao often listened to her grandmother when she was young. At that time, she really thought that the old cold legs were caused by lack of clothes. So the old cold leg is really because? Cold? Will you get it today? Bian Xiao will tell you.

The term "old cold legs" actually does not exist in medicine. Cold legs are actually the same as arthritis. Arthritis is not caused by cold weather without clothes, but mainly joint degeneration is closely related to age and joint wear. Cold does cause joint damage, but it does not directly lead to arthritis. Therefore, wearing less will not directly lead to changing into old cold legs, and there is no such thing as old cold legs in science. You can also refute the old man.

Why do old people say that? When old people get older, their metabolism will slow down, so the heat generated by their bodies will be less. These old people will start to wear thick clothes in autumn. It feels particularly cold in winter, because most of these old people are sitting in chairs, and they will feel cold if they don't exercise for a long time. Moreover, like many old people, they used to live in poor conditions and often wore wet and cold clothes, which also caused joint damage.

The importance of adding clothes. In winter, young people should also put on some clothes properly, so as to ensure their health. If we wear very little in winter, we may catch a cold. A cold will reduce our resistance and immunity, especially at such a dangerous time. If the resistance and immunity decline, it will be very dangerous to meet the confirmed cases in COVID-19. Therefore, Bian Xiao also suggested that everyone must improve their resistance and immunity and put on more clothes in winter.
