There has been mention lately of feeling cold all the time and living with it because its from losing weight and or getting older.
If the body, and especially the extremites are chilly part or all the time, it is an indicator of an endocrine issue. Namely a thyroid issue.
It may not be a low thyroid, but just a compromised thyroid, due to weight loss stressing out the adrenal glands.
There is an easy fix for this.
Generally, we as Americans are very deficient in Iodine.
Using iodized salt and eating seaweed off and on, cannot beign to give us the Iodine our bodies need on a daily basis.
In Asia, fishhead soup is consumed often, and in traditional native populations, you will find them always seeking out the thyroid and adrenal glands to consume, when hunting.
Today, it is much simpler to get needed Iodine.
There are two separate methods.
The first is to find a source for ioderal, which is Lugol's Iodine in pill form.
Generally, all that is needed is the lowest does possible.
And if more is needed, ramp up very slowy.
The other is to order Lugol's drops online. You cannot get it in the store usually, because of new drug laws.
Also, be sure and order the 5% solution. Do not get the watered down 2% version.
You will see a reduction, all the way to complete recovery from feeling cold in a very short amount of time.
For me, it was way less then a month.
Today, I am not as vigilant in taking it, though I should be, as my system is working much better then ever.
To test at home to see how deficient you are, you can take liquid Iodine, and rub one drop on the inside of your arm.
You want to still see some evidence of that spot at least 12 hours later.
Most people will find that it disapears in as little as 4 hours.

It's 58 degrees in here today. I'm wearing jeans and a thin sweater and my hands turn purple when I'm not actively doing something.
