Are your hands always cold? 5 reasons why this happens

For some people, the drop in temperatures isn't the only thing that causes cold hands, as their hands stay that way all year round! 

Always cold hands come as a result of several causes, which you can find listed below:

1. Poor blood circulation

One of the main causes is poor blood circulation. This can be genetic, but should be looked at as it is a sign of other problems, including diabetes or obesity. In some cases, the body reduces the level of blood circulation in the hands, to allow good circulation in organs such as the brain or lungs.

2. Stress can cause cold hands

Cold hands in some people come as a result of stress or anxiety they experience. These events manifest in different physical ways and cold hands is one of them.

3. Smoking and alcohol can be triggers

Smoking can cause cold hands as it narrows the blood vessels, while alcohol dilates them causing blood circulation to slow down.

4. High cholesterol level

Even the high level of cholesterol affects the blood circulation, which if not kept under control or cured can cause cardiac problems and some of the main symptoms are numbness or coldness of the limbs.

5. Lack of vitamins

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause your hands or feet to feel cold.
