You have often cold feet? Look what does this say about your health

If you have noticed that your legs are…
almost always cold, even when wearing socks, then this may indicate several different things about your health.
A very common reason people have cold feet is poor circulation of blood, which means that it never gets enough blood to your feet to warm them (or in some cases, this also happens in your hands).
This can be caused by a sedentary lifestyle (desk job) and can often be addressed if you put in the program to walk a little more every day. Poor circulation can also cause blood clots in the blood and can lead to other health problems. If you think this is the problem, then you should contact your doctor.
Another common cause for cold feet is an underactive thyroid. It’s something that happens more often in women than in men. Hypothyroidism can cause cold feet and cold hands, fatigue, hair loss and weight gain, among other symptoms. If you have a problem with the thyroid and take medication for it, but you still have cold hands and feet, you could have the Raynaud’s syndrome. The Raynaud’s syndrome is characterized by loss of blood flow to the hands and feet caused by broken blood vessels.

Some people with cold feet can have peripheral neuropathy, in which, the person may have a feeling of cold in hands and feet, without, however, the hands or the feet are actually cold to the touch. Other symptoms may include numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in the extremities. Peripheral neuropathy is usually a sign of some other underlying nerve damage, caused by diseases such as diabetes, exposure to toxins, infections or vitamin deficiencies. If you suspect that this may be the problem, tell your doctor immediately, because waiting can exacerbate the nerve damage.
