Are your hands cold all the time?
Of course, your hands are sometimes cold, but if they are cold all the time, it can be a sign of serious health problems. Read on to find out.
When the air temperature is low, it is normal for our hands to be cold. However, if our hands are constantly icy and we can't warm them in any way, the problem can be poor circulation, but also other diseases.

Anemia
If you feel weak, tired, have a headache, and your hands are constantly cold, you may have a lack of iron in your blood.
Poor thyroid function
Hypothyroidism, or slow thyroid function, leads to a slowdown in metabolism, which results in cold extremities or a feeling of coldness.
Diabetes
Rubbing in the palms and soles of the feet and cold can be the first signs of diabetes. Diabetes leaves consequences on the bloodstream, as well as on the nervous system, and that is why it is accompanied by these phenomena.
Stress
When we are under stress, the adrenaline produced in the adrenal glands jumps, narrows the blood vessels, so the circulation is weaker, and the arms and legs are colder.

Another autoimmune disease can be the culprit for cold hands, and that is systemic lupus erythematosus, which causes inflammation of joints, tendons, and other tissues and organs.
A change in the color of the skin of the hands and tingling are a sign that you should definitely visit a doctor.
