Why has people's ability to withstand the cold decreased?
People's fear of the cold is due, on the one hand, to a sudden drop in temperature, and on the other hand, to an increasingly weaker ability of the body to withstand the cold. The main reasons why modern people are more afraid of the cold are as follows:
Firstly, people get less sunlight exposure, leading to insufficient yang energy within the body. Many young and middle-aged adults, especially women, mostly belong to the yang deficiency constitution category, so they are more prone to feeling the cold. Even a slight drop in temperature can make them feel extremely chilled.
Secondly, modern people spend less time exercising, resulting in a low basal metabolic rate, which cannot provide enough energy for the body.
