Cold hands & feet – discuss causes & remedies
-
I've heard ppl say that B-vitamins make their feet warm, overall good circulation w/ high metabolism
-
@skylark That makes a lot of sense. I'm in Sweden so yeah, it's pretty cold now in winter.
-
This could mean anemia. Low copper was the culprit for me, which I fixed by eating an ounce of liver every day.
-
@pilky it's caused by adrenaline. Either from a gut disorder or from hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can cause gut problems too though.
What is your pulse and temperature?
-
@pilky Could be a million things. You'll most likely find a common thread that could be just another symptom (but it's the main enabler) in your nervous system regulation. Dysregulated nervous system can cause hypersensitivity to nerves that will in turn cause for the typical reflex of redirecting blood flow away from the limbs and to the major organs.

For me, I find that quick and simple warm showers seem to do the trick during bouts of cold hands/feet from stress. Of course this won't address the larger issue but it can work as a way to signal the body to shift to glucose metabolism according to Peat.

@paradox how to fat with starch increase temps ? the fat not reduce glucose utilization ? i am very curios
*my english is bad

@pilky a jacket, socks, and hat.

Unironically nofap. PMO places unnecessary strain on your circulatory system and deregulates bloodstream prioritization, resulting in weaker arteries/capillaries etc in your extremities.

@NoFapPeating you have low testosterone

@NoFapPeating you have low testosterone
Tested last month at 960. Take your hand off your dick before replying next time

@NoFapPeating I can’t I’m on a 6 hour edging streak rn (right now)

Been experiencing the same thing for years. My fingertips will almost always be cool, even when it's piping hot outside. Have some other symptoms that track w/ hypothyroidism, so after some research and attempts at less invasive measures to correct, I'm giving desiccated cow thyroid a try. Been taking 1grain/day in the evening for a few days now. Too early to know for sure whether it's doing anything for me I think, but I do feel a bit warmer in the few hours after taking it.
Measured waking body temps a few times, 97-97.8F, pulse around 50-60bpm. Do reply if you find anything that helps as well.

@pilky Check your thyroid hormone levels. Morning and evening cortisol too...
Do you know what is your body temperature when you wake up? Should be about 36,5 C or 97.8 F
And after breakfast, it should rise to about 37 C or 98.6 F
And pulse rate between 75-85 beats per minute (BPM).https://www.functionalps.com/blog/2012/11/19/temperature-and-pulse-basics-monthly-log/

@pilky i noticed cold hands and feet after consuming an energy drink with Sucralose in it. It impeded thyroid function to a great degree. Are you consuming any fake sugar unknowingly in any drinks?
-
@Kruton https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6221534/#:~:text=Sucralose diminishes thyroid peroxidase activity,T3 and T4 [17].
Sucralose diminishes thyroid peroxidase activity, leading to a decrease in TSH, as well as in the plasma levels of T3 and T4

I feel very warm after mixing a tablespoon of coconut oil into my rice and liver meal while drinking OJ
-
Has anyone improved cold hand and feet?
Despite having improved my core temperatures (I'm usually in the 98.6 - 99°F range), my hands and feet become freezing after the smallest drop in room temperature.
-
Have you tried taking pinches of salt? Adrenalin tends to draw blood away from the peripheral tissues. Could also be endotoxin/serotonin related.
-
Torso temperature needs to be as close to environment temp as possible. I find that artificially elevating torso temperature (Under covers with sweatshirt on or winter jacket on at 40F) slows down thyroid activities and upon return to "normal" torso temp the body wants to hold the blood in the organs, de-prioritizing blood flow to the limbs.
