There are a number of reasons for that:
One very common reason people experience cold feet is poor circulation, meaning that not enough blood is getting to your feet (or in some cases, your hands as well) to keep them warm. This can be caused by a sedentary lifestyle (think office job) and can often be remedied by walking around for a bit each day. Poor circulation can also be the cause of blood clots and can lead to other health issues as well. Be sure to check with your doctor if you think this is the problem.
Another common cause of cold feet is an underactive thyroid,
hypothyroidism can cause cold feet and hands, fatigue, hair loss and weight gain, among other symptoms. If you do have a thyroid issue and are taking medication for it, but still experiencing cold hands and feet, you could have Raynaud’s syndrome. Raynaud’s syndrome is characterized by a loss of blood flow to the hands and feet caused by spasms in the blood vessels.
