"Feet get cold first because they are the farthest from the heart," explains therapist Anna ZHELOBKOVICH. "However, if they are cold in cold weather or in a cool room, it is not as critical as when feet are cold, for example, under a warm blanket."
Cold feet can be caused by various factors, such as fluctuations in blood pressure, thrombosis of veins and arteries, neurological and autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, anemia, and Raynaud's syndrome.
To determine the cause, it is recommended to consult a doctor and undergo necessary examinations. To prevent cold feet, try to eat properly. Include foods rich in magnesium, calcium, as well as vitamins E, K, and C in your diet. Avoid harmful habits and lead an active lifestyle. If you don't have time for sports, do daily warm-ups. A foot massage, which can be done with a warming cream, is also beneficial. Don't forget to replace tight shoes.
Additionally, in winter, it is better to choose shoes that are one size larger or less tightly fitting to the foot — this will create an additional warming air “cushion.”
