It's normal for people to feel cold in winter, but if you can't get warm even when you're wearing several layers of clothes or when you're in a warm room, the reason why you're cold may be hidden in your body, not in external conditions. The following conditions in the body can cause a feeling of cold:
1. Underweight
If there is no harmony between height and weight, a feeling of cold can often appear, because the body lacks fats that warm the body, or the metabolism is slowed down due to less food intake. Accompanying symptoms are: dizziness, fatigue, feeling of weakness, irregular cycle in women.
2. Dehydration
If you've tried all kinds of ways to warm up, but the results are lacking, then maybe it's about insufficient fluid intake. People who do not drink enough of this liquid may be more sensitive to low temperatures.
3. Insomnia
Insufficient sleep or poor-quality sleep can create difficulties in the brain, and further impaired metabolism.
4. Lack of vitamin B12
If we are talking about a lack of this vitamin, you can have anemia, and not just a feeling of cold. Numbness on the hands and feet, then a swollen tongue, problems with balance and poor memory often occur.
5. Lack of iron
This is another possible cause, because iron supports the work of red blood cells and the flow of oxygen throughout the body. In addition, a problem with the thyroid gland can also occur. Indicators of anemia are: pale complexion, brittle nails, poor concentration, shallow breath...
6. Weak circulation
If your hands or feet are cold, but not in other parts of the body, it may be time to seek professional help, or stop smoking.
7. Lack of muscle mass
If you consulted a doctor and the results showed that you have no health problems, it might be a good idea to think in this direction. If your muscles are weak, you are susceptible to colds and your metabolism is slower.
8. Hypothyroidism
In this case, the thyroid gland does not secrete enough hormones, so the metabolism slows down and the body does not warm up as it should. If you have also noticed that your hair is falling out, that your skin is dry, that you are gaining weight for an inexplicable reason, that your periods are longer and more painful, it is time to visit a doctor.
