Is Menopause Giving You Cold Hands and Feet?

There are many different changes that take place in a woman's body during menopause. One of the main things that people complain about is that in many cases, they have cold and tingling sensations in their hands and feet. Although this is not unusual, it is certainly annoying and there are some things that can be done in order to help you to overcome this difficulty and perhaps even to get rid of it altogether. If menopause is causing you to be cold in your extremities, do the following three things and you will find some relief.

The first thing that you need to understand is that most times, tingling and a cold sensation in the hands and feet has to do with a lack of circulation. This can be caused by a number of different reasons but one of the things that is behind menopause, a reduction in some of the major hormones that play a part in your body can cause this circulation to slow down as well. In order for you to get the blood circulating again, you need to get your body moving as this will help to open the blood vessels and to strengthen the pump, your heart, that is moving the blood to your body.

Another thing that is important for you to do is to make sure that you are eating the right types of foods. Many times, we tend to eat a standard American diet that is full of processed foods and sugary items. Not only can this harm your weight, especially during a period in your life whenever your metabolism may be slowing down, it can also cause poor circulation. Try shifting your diet more towards a healthy, balanced diet which includes plenty of raw fruits and vegetables. You should not only see an improvement in your circulation, you will also feel an overall sense of well-being as a result of eating this way.

There are also other things that can be done which can generally be lumped into one category. These would include such things as massages and meditation. Either of these can help you to relax and to pull the blood into the extremities of the body in order to get rid of your cold hands and feet. Remember, this is an ongoing process and until your body returns to a level where it is comfortable, you may experience these things. Continue to work on them and you will notice a difference.
