Do you also feel colder than others in winter? then know the reason

The winter season has started and now everyone has started wearing warm clothes. Many people like the winter season and many people also enjoy this season a lot. People are often seen wearing warm clothes in winter, but some people come wearing several layers of thick clothes in winter. Many people around you feel colder than others. Often people associate it with endurance, but in reality, there is science behind it too.

If you are also one of those people who feel colder than others, then today in this article we will tell you what is the reason behind feeling colder. To know about this, Jagran talked to Dr. Shrey Srivastava, Senior Consultant (Internal Medicine) at Sharda Hospital.

The doctor explained that some feel more cold than others due to a difference in body structure, metabolism, health condition, and age. A person who often has fat or muscle in his body struggles to generate body heat during winter days. Conditions like slow metabolism or hypothyroidism reduce body temperature.

The elderly are more sensitive to cold as the ability to maintain temperature weakens with age. Other than that, one's bad blood circulation or poor levels of iron within the body can make the person feel colder than usual in comparison to others.

Follow these tips to stay warm during winter:

• Wear more clothes: Wear multiple layers of clothing to keep the body warm. Use thermal wear and woolen clothes for extra warmth.
• Eat and drink warm things: Include soups, herbal teas, and spices like ginger and cinnamon in your diet to promote heat in the body.
• Exercise regularly: Being physically active improves blood circulation and produces heat in the body.
• Keep your home warm: Use heaters, hot water bottles, or insulated curtains to maintain heat indoors.
• Stay hydrated: Drinking water helps your body function properly and maintain warmth.
• Avoid alcohol: Many people believe that drinking alcohol warms the body. However, this is not true, rather alcohol actually lowers the body temperature.
