What is the reason for swollen fingers? Pay attention to swelling in the hands when you wake up early

Many people have swollen hands when they wake up in the morning, which is very uncomfortable. This phenomenon is common among pregnant women. What if a normal person has swollen fingers? Common reasons include protein deficiency, poor diet, etc.

1. Swelling of fingers caused by lack of protein. If there is a lack of protein, the body cannot form enough albumin and the waste in the tissues cannot be completely discharged. Over time, long-term lack of protein will cause water to accumulate in the body. When there is a severe protein deficiency, the tissues will swell significantly, causing edema of the fingers. Recommendation: Replenish protein for the body in time and eat more protein-rich foods, such as: milk, eggs, pork, beef, soybeans, chicken, walnuts, etc.

2. Swollen fingers caused by poor diet. Swollen fingers in the morning may be caused by eating too much at night. If you put too much salt in dinner or drink too much water, the cells will swell, and you will feel swollen fingers when you wake up in the morning. Recommendation: Limit water and salt intake at night. In order to excrete excess water from the body, it is best to eat more foods with diuretic effects such as watermelon, winter melon, cucumber, banana, seaweed, apple, peanuts, red beans, papaya, eggs, grapefruit, and konjac.

3. Swollen fingers caused by high temperature. Some people, especially those who work in high temperatures or are overweight and inactive, are affected by the high temperature of the environment, which causes the blood vessels in the skin to expand, and body fluids to penetrate and accumulate in the subcutaneous tissue. When they get up in the morning, they often experience swelling in their hands and feet. This swelling is seasonal and will disappear on its own after summer.

4. Swelling of fingers caused by menstruation. Some healthy women will experience mild swelling of their fingers or even lower limbs in the morning a week or half a month before their period, accompanied by symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, fatigue, and headache. Generally, when menstruation comes, edema and other symptoms will gradually subside. Recommendation: Before menstruation, you can soak your hands with Chinese medicine such as safflower, wolfberry, and angelica. This can invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. In addition, you should also pay attention to keeping the local area warm.
