Some people can't stand the cold, and don't feel well when the temperatures drop. They have cold hands or feet and in many cases body tremors.

When the weather changes too often, it takes the body a few weeks to adjust to the temperatures. But if you have more cold it says something about your health

Causes of always being cold

Hypothyroidism

The most common symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue, depression, and feeling cold all the time.

Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. These hormones are important in regulating metabolism and body temperature.

When the body does not have enough thyroid hormones, its processes slow down.

Reynaud's disease

This disease is related to the arteries in the hands and feet. These blood vessels become very narrow and thus less blood circulates.

During this disease, the fingers may turn blue or white. When blood begins to circulate normally, people may feel pain in these parts of the body.

Anemia

Anemia occurs when a person has fewer red blood cells circulating in the body, thereby delivering oxygen. Symptoms of this disease include the feeling of coldness that comes from this lack of oxygen.

Other symptoms are cold feet and hands, fatigue, lethargy, difficulty breathing and irregular heartbeat.

According to AgroWeb.org data, some of the types of anemia that also cause the feeling of cold are:

Iron deficiency anemia, which is the most common among them. This happens when the cells fail to absorb the iron in the blood well.

Anemia from a lack of vitamins that comes as a result of malnutrition. Low levels of B12 or folic acid can lead to anemia.

Anorexia nervosa

Also known as anorexia, it is an eating disorder characterized by the image a person has of his body, but it is also related to the mental and emotional reaction to weight gain.

People suffering from anorexia drastically reduce the amount of food they consume and induce vomiting.

Anorexia can cause the feeling of cold as a result of the low level of fat in the body.

The treatments of this disease usually require the consultation of doctors.

Peripheral artery disease

This disease occurs when some plaques form in the arteries that circulate blood in the body. It is widely known as arteriosclerosis.

The build-up of these plaques in the arteries causes the blood vessels to narrow, which means that blood can't flow as well as it should.

Usually this is reflected in the extremes of the body, i.e. in the limbs, creating the feeling of coldness and numbness in the hands or feet. Often this disease requires an intensive treatment related to nutrition and physical activity.

Why do women have more colds than men?

Studies on which AgroWeb.org is based show that women prefer a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, while men feel very good in an environment at 22 degrees.

This is related to the fact that women have a slower metabolism than men, so they do not produce less energy than men.

When should you worry?

If these symptoms last for a long time, and you develop complications, you should definitely visit a specialist doctor.

The main tests include blood tests, as this is how it is understood if there is an underlying medical cause./AgroWeb.org
