It’s wintertime, which means unless you live in the South, it’s cold! With cold temperatures comes cold hands and feet. Your hands and feet feel colder during the winter months because low temperatures cause veins and arteries to constrict, which limits blood flow to these extremities. Blood flow is necessary to feel warm, so reduced circulation can trigger cold fingers and toes.
There are simple tips you can utilize during the winter months to warm up your fingers and toes, such as wearing mittens instead of gloves, wearing thicker socks, eating spicy foods, and giving yourself a massage to get the blood flowing thoroughly.
