While it's perfectly normal for fingers and toes to feel chilly from time to time, especially in cool weather, constantly cold extremities may signal that your health deserves a closer look.

“Two of the most common reasons for cold hands and feet are stress and anxiety. That’s completely normal. But there are certain medical conditions as well which may cause that, such as diabetes, high cholesterol or thyroid disorders,” pharmacist Benjamin Lim told FMT Lifestyle.
