Time Magazine: 10 Reasons You Feel Cold All the Time
Most of us have experienced “cold hands and cold feet” in our lifetime e.g. nervousness before an important speech. That is normal – the body diverts blood from our extremities to other parts of the body in preparation for a ‘fight or flight’ situation. But what if your hands (and legs and other parts of the body) feel cold always?
Time Magazine compiled a list of 10 reasons why you may feel cold all the time. These include:
- Check if you are drinking enough water
- You’re too thin
- Your thyroid is out of whack
- You don’t get enough iron
- You have poor circulation
- You don’t get enough sleep
- You don’t consume enough vitamin B12
- You’re a woman
- You have diabetes
- You need to bulk up your muscle mass
Did you know a number of these reasons have an association with your mouth and dentistry?
Water, thyroid, iron, sleep, vitamin B12, diabetes – all this point to chronic inflammation within the body.
