Like many people, especially women, are you always cold?

Here are a few common reasons to explain why you are always cold.

* Skipping meals – The body conserves energy and produces less heat when you don’t eat.

* Not getting enough sleep – This can make you feel rundown and less active.

* Anemia – A simple blood test can detect if you are anemic.* Hormonal imbalances – In women, fluctuating estrogen levels can make you sensitive to cold temperatures.

* Raynaud’s disease – The blood vessels and smaller arteries that supply blood to the skin constrict and limit circulation.

* Low body weight – Alvarez said he is referring to muscle mass and body fat. Using your muscles generates heat, and fat acts as insulation.
