12 reasons that may explain why you’re always cold
Always being cold is a far from pleasant feeling. But if we want to fight it and make it disappear, it is important to know the possible causes of these sensations of recurrent chills, chills and cold.

Anemia causes feelings of cold

Anemia is a phenomenon characterized by a lack of hemoglobin in the blood. A pathology which concerns more the female population than male, and which would affect approximately one in four people in the world *.

Whether you are anemic due to a lack of iron, B vitamins, or folic acid, among the most common symptoms of anemia you can find fatigue, pallor, shortness of breath during exercise, and an almost permanent feeling of cold.

The feeling of cold that people with anemia can feel can be explained very naturally: hemoglobin is a protein that is used to transport oxygen in our body. So when our red blood cells lack it, our body is no longer sufficiently supplied with oxygen. And muscles that don’t get enough blood are muscles that are going to be colder, and go numb more easily.
