Islamabad: (RightNow) Some individuals feel colder than others during winter. Experts say this is not just physical weakness but could be due to a deficiency in Vitamin B12 and D.

A lack of Vitamin B12 can lead to anemia and nervous system issues. This results in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and cold hands and feet.

Recent research shows that low hemoglobin levels affect blood circulation, hindering oxygen supply to various body parts.

Experts suggest dietary changes to combat cold sensitivity. Vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, along with carbohydrates like millet and oats, can be beneficial.

It is important to note that thyroid issues can also increase cold sensitivity. Consulting a doctor for diagnosis and treatment is advised.
