Helpful Tips for Warming Constantly Cold Feet and Hands

Some people tolerate cold weather better than others. Then there are those who suffer from cold extremities year long, regardless of the weather. Do you fall into the latter category? In this article, we will take a look at a few of the reasons why a person's hands and feet remain cold

and what can be done to warm up.

There are several reasons why a person's hands and feet stay cold. Poor circulation could be a cause of cold extremities. For example, those who suffer from coronary heart disease may have cold hands and feet all of the time. Raynaud's disease is also a condition that affects the flow of blood to the fingers and toes. A person who suffers from chronic stress may also experience cold extremities. Coldness of the extremities could be a side effect of certain medications. There are also people who have a hypersensitivity to cold.

If you suffer from chronic coldness of the hands and/or feet it would be best to check with your physician in order to rule out an underlying disease. But in the meantime there are steps you can take to warm up your fingers and toes.

If you smoke this is one more reason to quit or at least cut back. Smoking impairs circulation which could be another reason why your extremities stay cold. You should also try to avoid caffeine since caffeine constricts blood vessels. During the winter months be sure to always wear gloves, a head covering and thick socks when going outdoors since the majority of body heat escapes through the head and extremities. Wear warm slippers around the house. Try to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.Take steps to make your home energy efficient so that heat is not lost through cracks around windows and doors.
