“Why Do I Feel Cold All The Time?” Reasons For Low Temperature Tolerance

Reasons For Low Temperature Tolerance

Why Do I Feel Cold All The Time?

Cold intolerance

brain that controls temperature

Feeling usually cold isn't a sickness

signal an underlying health issue

Just how people have pain tolerance and taste tolerance, some might also have different cold tolerance. Feeling usually cold isn't a sickness itself, but it can signal an underlying health issue. It could be related to your thyroid, the part of your brain that controls temperature (hypothalamus), or how your blood flows. Conditions like anemia, hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia, or anorexia can also cause it. <br /><br />Cold intolerance means you feel much colder than normal, not just a little chilly. You might complain about being cold when everyone else feels fine, and extra clothes might not help. Sometimes, only certain parts of your body, like your hands, feel very cold. <br /><br />If you suddenly start feeling unusually cold, and it doesn't go away, see your doctor. They will figure out what's causing it and how to treat it. Here are some reasons why you could be feeling this way.<br /><br /><br /><h2>Dehydration <br /></h2><br />Your body needs water to stay at the right temperature. If you don't drink enough water, you can feel cold. Water helps your body hold onto heat. If you are dehydrated, you might also feel dizzy, have a dry mouth, and feel tired. To avoid this, drink plenty of water. You can also get water from fruits, vegetables, and soups.<br /><br /><br /><h2>Blood Sugar Conditions <br /></h2><br />If your blood sugar is too high for a long time, it can hurt the nerves in your hands and feet. This is called peripheral neuropathy. It can make your hands and feet feel numb, painful, and cold. Also, if your blood sugar gets too low, you can feel chills. So, it is important to control your blood sugar. If you have diabetes, see your doctor regularly.<br /><br /><br /><h2>Low Body Weight<br /></h2><br />If you are very thin, you might feel cold more easily. This is because your body doesn't have enough fat to keep you warm. Your muscles also help make heat. So, if you have low muscle mass you will also feel colder. If you are underweight, make sure you are eating a healthy diet.<br /><br /><br /><h2>Lack of Sleep<br /></h2><br />When you don't get enough sleep, it can mess up your body's temperature control. This can make you feel cold. Not sleeping enough can also hurt your metabolism. Try to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Make sure your bedroom is cool and dark. If you still have trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor.<br /><br /><br /><h2>Anorexia Nervosa<br /></h2><br />When someone has anorexia, they are very afraid of gaining weight. They might eat very little or exercise too much. This makes their body very thin. Because they have very little body fat, they get cold easily. They may also feel sad, have dry skin, and have trouble thinking. If you think someone has this problem, it is very important to seek out professional help.<br /> <br /><br /><h2>Hypothyroidism<br /></h2><br />Your thyroid is a gland that helps control your body's temperature. If your thyroid doesn't make enough hormones, you can feel cold all the time. This is called hypothyroidism. You might also have dry skin, hair loss, and weight gain. If you have these symptoms, see your doctor. They can give you medicine to help your thyroid.<br /><br /><br /><h2>Iron Deficiency Anemia<br /></h2><br />Iron helps your blood carry oxygen. Oxygen helps your body make heat. If you don't have enough iron, you can feel cold. You might also have pale skin, brittle nails, and trouble concentrating. To get more iron, eat foods like beans, chicken, and fish. Your doctor can also give you iron pills.<br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

Utah Becomes The First State To Ban Fluoride In Water

Utah has become the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water. This has been opposed by dentists and national health organizations who had warned that this move could lead to more medical problems, dental problems and could also disproportionately affect low-income communities. <br /><br />Spencer Cox, Republican Gov. signed the legislation on Thursday that barred cities and communities from deciding whether to add the mineral to their water systems.<br /><br /><h4>What Does Fluoride Do?<br /></h4><br />Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities by replacing minerals lost during normal wear and tea. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that they are naturally occurring compounds and when used in low levels, it can help prevent dental cavities. <br /><br />The CDC notes that fluoride repairs and prevents damage to teeth caused by bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria in the mouth produce acid when a person eats or drinks. The acid then dissolves minerals in a tooth’s surface and makes the tooth weaker and open to cavities. <br /><br />Fluoride also replaces the minerals lost from a tooth due to acid breakdown. Some fluoride can replace minerals in the tooth surface, which makes the outer enamel layer harder to dissolve. Fluoride also could reduce the amount of acid that cavity-causing bacteria produce, as well as making it harder for these bacteria to stick to the teeth. <br /><br />CDC notes that teeth requires consistent, low levels of fluoride in the mouth, in the saliva and on tooth surfaces. Fluoride can also be incorporated into developing dental enamel before a tooth erupts into the mouth, enhancing the tooth’s resistance to acid breakdown and preventing cavities later in life. <br /><br />As per the US Food and Drug Administration, the fluoride levels in the water is regulated and are safe and effective when used as directed. However, despite this, Utah has banned its use.<br /><br /><strong>ALSO READ: <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-news/utah-to-become-the-first-state-to-ban-fluoride-in-drinking-water-article-151225949" data-type="tilCustomLink">Utah To Become The First State To Ban Fluoride In Drinking Water</a><br /><sub></sub></strong><br /><h4>What Happened In Utah, Why The Ban?<br /></h4><br />Utah lawmakers pushed for fluoride ban stating that it was too expensive. As per Cox, he grew up and raised his own children in a community without fluoridated water. The ban will be effective from May 7. This move has been promoted by the US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, who expressed skepticism about water fluoridation. <br /><br />As per the American Dental Association, this is a move worth criticizing. They said that the ban showed “wanton disregard for the oral health and well-being of their constituents.” The group said that cavities are the most common chronic childhood disease. <br /><br />“As a father and a dentist, it is disheartening to see that a proven, public health policy, which exists for the greater good of an entire community’s oral health, has been dismantled based on distorted pseudoscience,” said the association’s president, Denver dentist Brett Kessler, as reported by the CNN. <br /><br />In elsewhere too, including Ohio, South Carolina, and Florida, similar proposals have been made to restrict local governments or water system operators from adding fluoride to water. Whereas such proposed restrictions have been rejected in New Hampshire, Tennessee and North Dakota. <br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

In the US, scheduling an appointment with a GP can lead to even a month of wait time. It can further extend to three months. For elective surgeries or planned and non-emergency surgeries, the wait time could be for as long as six months. <br /><br />Whereas, if one looks at India, the access is faster. There are appointments, which can be booked within a few days, furthermore, walk-in services are also available in most cases. Elective surgeries are usually performed within one to four weeks in India. <br /><br /><h4>Cost Of Medical Consultation<br /></h4><br />Healthcare in the US is costly. Kristen writes in her caption: "In America, we hardly went to the doctor because it was just so expensive and you had to wait weeks to get in. But I have peace of mind in India knowing that I can go to a doctor any day even for something small because it is affordable.”<br /><br />It is true, on an average, for a visit to a doctor in America could cost anyone between $150 to $600, which is around 12k to 50k INR. Whereas in India, the consultation cost is between $7 to $17, which could be around 500 to 1,500 INR. The affordability is what ensures that people do not hesitate to reach out to doctors or healthcare professionals when in need. <br /><br /><h4>Hospitalization Expense<br /></h4><br />Not just appointments with doctors, but in the US, the hospitalization costs are also skyrocketing. For one-night hospital stay, the cost is around $3,000, which is somewhere around 2.5 lakhs INR. This makes hospitalisation a financial burden, even for those under insurance. <br /><br />In India, one day stay at a hospital is around $80, which could be around 6,000 INR. <br /><br /><h4>Medical Insurance<br /></h4><br />There are also arguments that the US healthcare system is manageable as it is covered in medical insurance. However, the reality may be different, because the medical insurance too is not quite affordable. The average cost of medical insurance in the US could range somewhere between $800 and $1,500, which could be around 64k to 1.2 lakh INR per month. There are also high premiums. <br /><br />Whereas in India, the medical insurance is far for affordable, ranging between $23 and $58, around 2k to 5k INR. <br /><br /><h4>Quality of healthcare services<br /></h4><br />While the US is home to the best medical facilities, world-class research and top-tier doctors, it does come at a very high price. However, the Indian healthcare system is a mix of both, private and public hospitals, where experts come from all walks of life. In fact, at this time, many private hospitals too have been technologically equipped and have internationally accredited doctors. <br /><br />The biggest point to be noted, as Kristen also mentions, is the affordability the Indian healthcare system offers and the understanding of treating medical cases with urgency. <br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

The way you act and certain traits that are unique to you, are what draw people to you. Whether it is the way you talk or meet people, or other mannerisms, your personality has a big part to play in how you are perceived. While your personality obviously has a lot of sway in your social life, there are many other ways it can affect your life. <br /><br />Having a fun and inviting personality can be a bonus point for your personal and work relationships. People love interacting with you and generally enjoy your company. But could it also be a bonus point for your health? Personality and mental health go hand in hand, and there is research to prove so. Here are some ways ‘good’ personalities benefit you and ‘bad’ one negatively affect your health.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Optimism<br /></h4><br />If you're optimistic, you tend to see the bright side of life. According to a 2019 study published in PNAS this helps you live healthier and longer. Optimistic people have less inflammation in their bodies and healthier cholesterol. They also take better care of themselves by exercising and eating well. When you're sick, being optimistic helps you cope better and feel less stressed.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Conscientiousness<br /></h4><br />Being conscientious means you're organized, responsible, and careful. According to a 2013 Health Psychology study, people with this trait often live longer and are healthier. They make good choices, like exercising and eating healthy. They also go to the doctor regularly and follow their advice. This helps them recover faster from illnesses and feel less stressed.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Extroversion<br /></h4><br />Extroverts love being around people. According to a study published in the 2020 APA PsycNet, this social connection can help lower stress and inflammation. They tend to be more active and happier, which is good for their health. Even if you're shy, having close friends and family can keep you healthy. Staying active, even by yourself, can also help.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Openness to Experience<br /></h4><br />People who are open to new things are curious and creative. According to Social Psychological and Personality Science 2014 study, they're often happier and handle stress better. This leads to better physical health. Trying new things, like traveling or learning a hobby, can make you more open and improve your well-being.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Agreeableness<br /></h4><br />Being agreeable means you're kind and helpful. Berkeley Well-Being Institute explains that people with this trait have good relationships and less stress. They also tend to make healthy choices and handle stress well. If you want to be more agreeable, try being more compassionate and listening to others.<br /><br /><br /><h2>Negative Traits and Health Risks<br /></h2><br /> Similar to how positive traits benefit our health, negative traits can trigger many issues. Many of these traits can arise due to mental health issues and you should not hesitate to reach out for help if you are going through them.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Hostility</h4><br /><br />If you're hostile, you're often angry and unfriendly. This leads to stress and isolation, which is bad for your health. High stress weakens your immune system and increases your risk of heart problems. Learning to control your anger and manage stress can help.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Neuroticism</h4><br /><br />Neurotic people worry a lot and feel anxious. This can lead to mental health problems and weaken your body. Constant stress from worrying can cause health issues. Learning to relax and think positively can help you feel better.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Emotional Suppression<br /></h4><br />Hiding your feelings can make you feel stressed and anxious. If you always bottle up your emotions, it can hurt your heart and weaken your immune system. It's important to find healthy ways to express your feelings.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Social Inhibition<br /></h4><br />If you're shy, you might avoid social situations. This can lead to loneliness and stress, which can cause health problems. Slowly facing your fears and getting help from a therapist can make you feel more comfortable around people.<br /><br /><br /><h4>Self-Centeredness<br /></h4><br />People who are self-centered only think about themselves. This can lead to loneliness and relationship problems, which cause stress. This stress can hurt your heart and immune system. Trying to be more kind and caring can help you feel better and have better relationships. <br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />
