How to help cold hands and feet?

For some people, winter means snuggling up under a blanket with warm clothes and hot cocoa. But for others, it means painful cold hands and feet that make them feel like they’re about to turn into ice sculptures.
If you fall into the latter category, don’t fret! We’ve got your back in combating this icy nemesis of yours.

Keep Warm

The easiest solution for cold extremities is to simply keep them bundled up in layers of clothing.

• Wear thick socks made from wool or synthetic fibers¹.

• Consider layering additional long johns or thermal tights underneath pants to trap heat.

However,fashion is just as important as functionality; finding the perfect balance between both, will aid helping those icy toes stay warm.

Hydrate Yourself

Drinking enough water throughout the day ensures proper blood circulation which realistically contributes to keeping your limbs at an equilibrium temperature ³. Ensure hydrating with any fluids specifically during winters rather than emphasizing solely on hot beverages(no matter how tempting). At least even if it doesn’t work directly ,you also won’t have extra thirst 😉

Pro tip: To add flavor and color, consider adding slices of lemon,cucumber etc., It looks fancy yet refreshing too!

An effortless way would be ‘half spiky ball’ foot massager available online let alone physiotherapy centers; press down while rolling feet over it once daily can surely help combat poor blood flow within minutes.⁵
