Visual Signs of Poor Health That You Probably Ignore But Shouldn’t

You Have Constantly Cold Feet

Since your feet are farthest from the heart, it is no surprise that they are the first part of your body to experience the side effects of vascular diseases. Feet that are so horribly cold that the skin turns waxy and glacial to the touch can be a symptom of Raynaud’s syndrome, which can also happen to your hands. Raynaud’s is a disorder where the blood drains from the toes and fingers.

Once the blood does return to the fingers and toes, they gain a reddish or purplish color and may even be painful. Some people can just put on socks or gloves and go about their day, but Raynaud’s syndrome can be distracting. It is also connected to several autoimmune disorders, such as mixed connective tissue disease or progressive systemic sclerosis. Aside from Raynaud’s syndrome, chronically cold extremities often point to poor circulation.
