"The Snow Queen": why is it always cold
In most cases, people ignore the fact that their limbs are freezing. Considering this discomfort to be temporary or seasonal. Sometimes they get used to it and do not pay attention. The feeling of coldness in the hands and feet occurs most often in the fall or early spring, when the human body is most susceptible to hypothermia. In some cases, impaired blood circulation is to blame.
Why are feet constantly cold
The legs maintain the balance of temperature in the human body, being a kind of regulator. The fact is that it is not at all easy for the heart to deliver blood to the legs, since they are very distant. Therefore, they must be tempered and careful not to cause cooling.
Causes of perpetually freezing feet:
- The feet can feel cold in those who constantly wrap them up, even at normal temperatures. Often these are those people who have a disposition to malfunction of the autonomic system.
- Long tucked legs are also the cause of freezing. In this position, blood does not flow well to the legs, blood circulation is impaired. Gradually, the legs begin to turn blue, then they become completely cold.
- Hypothermia. In this case, the feet remain cold until they are warmed up.
- If a person once froze his feet, then for a long time after he may suffer from the fact that the limbs are constantly freezing.
- Another very popular reason for cold feet is diet... The reason is simple, the body does not have enough energy resources, that is, food.
In addition to all of the above, cold feet can be the result of a certain kind of disease: anemia, vascular dystonia, peripheral vascular disease, venous stasis, and pressure problems.
Why are your hands constantly cold
The female sex (from fifteen to forty-five) often suffers from the syndrome of cold hands. This is attributed to the fact that heat exchange in a woman's body is weaker than that of men. The point may be that someone is simply coldly dressed. In this case, everything is easy to fix, just by warming up. However, most often the disease is present in those who are nervously overloaded, have a bad habit of smoking, and are also susceptible to chronic fatigue syndrome.
The causes of persistently cold hands are the same as for persistently cold feet. You can only add a few more:
- Thyroid disease. As a result of this disease, metabolic processes are disrupted. This leads to the fact that the mechanisms responsible for thermoregulation cease to cope with their work.
- Iodine or iron deficiency can also lead to cold hand syndrome. Doctors say that iron and iodine are the main sources and the main keepers of good blood circulation.
- Osteochondrosis. As a result of deformation of the discs between the vertebrae, muscle spasms occur, which lead to compression of the vessels and nerves surrounding the spinal cord. From here, blood circulation is disturbed, the hands become cold.
Constant feeling of cold
A condition in which a person constantly feels chills is called hypothyroidism. In the cold season, you may not immediately recognize that the reason is not in the terrible cold, but in the body. This disease occurs in both men and women. But most often people aged are susceptible to it.
The main causes of persistent chills include:
- Hormonal disorder - dysfunction of the pituitary gland. People suffering from this disease are highly susceptible to overwork and low blood pressure.
- Also, a feeling of coldness can arise from a malfunction of the hypothalamus. This organ, or rather the gland, is responsible for the regulation of body temperature, weight control, and emotional state.
- Anemia.
- Lekemia.
- A disease of the musculoskeletal system can also lead to a feeling of cold.
