Cold Hands and foot

Hands and feet feel cold when they don't receive an ample supply of warm blood containing oxygen and nutrients. The most common reason for this problem is exposure to cold air, especially from a draught or the wind. An underlying health problem may be responsible, but whatever the cause of the condition, there is much you can do to relieve the symptoms.

Avoid heavy, fatty meals, which divert blood from the extremities to the stomach and intestines for several hours afterwards. Eat three servings of oily fish each week to encourage the production of prostaglandins (hormone-like substances that help keep the blood flowing smoothly through the veins and arteries).
