CONSTANTLY COLD FEET MAY BE A SIGN OF RAYNAUDS

According to Dr. Frances Henshaw, a registered podiatrist, researcher and lecturer at Western Sydney University, consistently cold feet can be a sign of Raynaud’s. “Raynaud’s is a really common condition a lot of women get in their thirties and forties, where they get cold hands and feet.

This is because the blood vessels in those areas tend to close up when it’s cold, and it affects your blood supply,” she told Mamamia. In most cases, Raynaud’s isn’t serious and can be managed with the usual things: good socks, slippers, feet warmers, or having a hot shower/bath.
