Why are my hands cold?

[Big)Sky]

When im just hanging around the house, i notice my hands and feet are always cold.

I was wondering if there was something to do to help improve my circulation to my hands and feet.

exercise, ginkgo, omega 3, cayenne pepper, possibly L-arginine. if you use stimulants and/or smoke then cut down or quit

do you walk around barefoot? could be an idea to wear socks or slippers around the house, also if you are just sitting about rather than moving the blood flow will be reduced and you will notice this more. get up and move more frequently.
Also sitting cross legged stops the circulation as much and will also make your feet feel colder. It is normally your hands arms and feet that are exposed in the house. What kind of flooring do you have, wooden, laminate, lino etc these can also make a difference.

some things like cayenne pepper as coltdan said above help as well as horse chestnut, hawthorn, ginger and garlic are all well known for this.

I call it poor circulation and chalk it up as unavoidable

I've ALWAYS had this problem, but it's way worse after having caffeine or other stimulants. My lips sometimes go pale/purplish after being out in the cold too...not sexy.

Best things I've found are a hot shower or bath, yoga and pro-circulatory stuff like ginger, cayenne pepper or gingko. Wearing socks or house shoes helps with the cold feet too.
