It’s a familiar, but definitely unpleasant, little shiver: the one that creeps up your fingers or toes, even under a warm duvet in the middle of autumn. Should you be worried? Is it just a bodily quirk or a warning sign? Spoiler: both are possible. But the good news is that there are simple tricks to keep warm, and more importantly, to understand what your body is trying to tell you.
When cold extremities are completely normal
There’s no need to be alarmed if your feet turn to ice cubes when you step outside in 5°C weather or spend the evening on the couch without moving. It’s a natural response: the body protects its vital organs by reducing circulation to “lower priority” areas . The result? Your extremities suffer a bit. Once you’re nice and warm, things usually return to normal.
But when this cold becomes unusual…
If your fingers stay ice cold even though you’re in a warm room , or your toes feel like icicles in the spring , that’s a different story. Several everyday factors can disrupt your thermal regulation. And spoiler: it’s not always about heating.
