Here's why your hands are always cold

Why are your hands always cold? It's not just you.

When your body senses cold, it protects your core first.

Blood flow to your fingers gets turned down so your heart, lungs and organs stay warm.

Fingers are the first go cold because they have lots of surface area, have no big muscles to make heat, and sit at the far end of your circulation.

Things that make this worse include cold offices, air-conditioned rooms, stress, sitting still for hours, and smoking. 

Sound like your workday? Always cold, even when others aren't? Fingers turning white or blue?

That can point to things like Raynaud's, anemia, or thyroid issues. These are all worth a conversation with a doctor.

For the everyday chill, there's The Writer's Glove. The Writer's Glove provides warmth where you need it for productive hands indoors. No more taking gloves off to work at a keyboard.
