Cold Feet

Your feet are the farthest part of your body from your heart, and because of this, they are often the first place that vascular disease appears. Chronically cold feet, and hands too, are often linked to Raynaud’s syndrome, a disorder where the blood supply drains from fingers and toes.

Although it’s common practice to just put on a couple of pairs of socks and go about your day, getting checked out is important as Raynaud’s syndrome is linked to several autoimmune conditions such as progressive systemic sclerosis and mixed connective tissue disease.
