Winter has started in many states of the country, albeit late. These days, the effect of fog along with pollution is also being seen in the capital Delhi-NCR. With the change in weather, winter clothes have also come out. Feeling cold in cold weather is a common thing, but have you started feeling very cold already?
It is usually seen that some people remain normal in the same environment while some people keep feeling very cold. If you also often feel very cold, then be careful, in some cases it can also be a sign of vitamin deficiency or diseases.
Causes of feeling too cold
Intolerance to cold or feeling too cold is not a disease, however, it can be considered a symptom of an underlying health problem. In many cases, it has been observed that people suffering from conditions such as anemia, hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia, or anorexia feel more cold than other people.
Doctors say, if you are suffering from chronic diseases or have less body fat, then you may also feel more cold.
Do you have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Doctors say, feeling too cold can sometimes be due to a lack of essential nutrients and vitamins in the body. If there is a deficiency of vitamin B12 in the body, then one may feel more cold. This vitamin plays an important role in the production of red blood cells and the transport of oxygen. If this vitamin is deficient, the body is unable to produce red blood cells, which can lead to anemia. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause not only cold but also fatigue and weakness.
Thyroid problem
Due to a problem in the thyroid gland, the thyroid gland is unable to produce enough hormones, which is a reason for feeling more cold. If the blood circulation in the body is not happening properly, then you may feel more cold. Apart from this, due to iron deficiency, artery disease, dieting, being underweight, and suffering from diabetes, you may also feel more cold. Due to dehydration, the body becomes more sensitive to changes in temperature, which makes you feel more cold.
What do experts say?
Senior doctor Dr. PB Mishra says, if you are feeling more cold, then be alert immediately and get proper treatment. Lack of nutrients for a long time can cause many serious damages to the body. Relief can be found in such problems by improving food and routine. If you have a problem of vitamin-B12 or thyroid, then definitely take advice from an expert in this regard. Due to not getting timely treatment of these conditions, there can be a risk of many types of complications.
