Ugh, why am I always cold?

Question

It's summer right now..so it's pretty warm. But I've been feeling really cold for the past couple weeks, and my hands are always freezing lately. I'm not sick or anything..so why am I always cold?

Answer 1

Anorexia or low thyroid can make you cold..which are probably unlikely you have those..

Answer 2

Iron deficiency anemia will produce symptoms such as excessive feelings of being cold, fatigue and exhaustion, nasty nasty headaches, paleness of skin, dizzy and fainting spells, irritability and moodiness .... are you eating enough iron rich foods??

A good way to check if you have iron deficiency anemia is to look at the coloring of the inner lid of your bottom eyelid ........ pasty and white means that you are anemic, rich and red is healthy and not anemic

Please ensure that you are also getting enough calcium, vitamin D (known as the sunshine vitamin) and vitamins B6 and B12 as all these are needed for the effective assimilation of iron in your body .......... take a multi B complex supplement containing all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 and folate etc....  particularly if you are vegegtarian or lactose intolerant .... they all work best as a group.... don't buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group unless a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath specifically tells you to do so.

If you are eating enough iron rich foods such as red meat, egg yolks, organic nuts, beans, asparagus and oatmeal and are still cold then your iron absorption is likely being inhibited by either a lack of B vitamins, calcium or vitamin D .......... oh, drinking coffee or tea within an hour of eating iron rich foods will inhibit iron's absorption and eating vitamin C rich foods with iron rich foods will enhance iron's absorption..........;0)

take care of you

Answer 3

Poor blood cirrculation.

You need to be more active so your blood can flow better like do some stretches or go for a light jog to get it flowing.
