Stress : Hand Warming

If you can remember back to your last stressful situation, you may remember that your hands and feet felt cold. This is because your body reduces blood flow to its extremities when it is under stress.



To reverse these symptoms and help yourself feel better, try rubbing your hands together vigorously until you have worked up some good heat. Now, do some simple finger and wrist stretches. Twist your wrists around or interlock your fingers and push your palms away from you to get a good stretch. If you frequently get cold hands, you may want to get some thin gloves to wear. If you cant wear gloves because you need to type, you can easily make some typing gloves by cutting off the fingers. This will keep your hands warm and allow you to type.



Of course, cold hands and feet don't necessarily mean that you are under stress. You may have a circulatory problem such as Raynaud's disease, or you may simply be cold. If in doubt, ask your doctor.
