There's always someone in the room who feels cold and asks to turn on the heat – sound familiar? Here are some reasons why this might happen:
1. Food and Drink
Certain foods can make you feel cold, especially those with high water content like salads, or naturally cold items like smoothies.
2. Vitamin B12 Deficiency
A lack of Vitamin B12 can make you feel colder than others.
3. Thyroid Problems
The thyroid gland is responsible for metabolism and body temperature regulation. An underactive thyroid can lead to increased sensitivity to cold.
4. Aging
The ability to maintain body heat diminishes with age, often due to a slower metabolism.
5. Iron Deficiency (Anemia)
Iron is crucial for producing red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. A shortage often results in feeling particularly cold.
