It’s Not Cute Or Healthy To Feel Cold All The Time

One of the best outward indicators of health and your metabolic rate is your body temperature.

When your body feels warm and comfortable, as well as having warm hands, feet and nose this signifies your nervous system is calm and stress hormones are balanced.

When your body temperatures start to rise and you consistently feel warm and comfortable this is when big positive physiological changes are taking place internally.

Being constantly cold is a sign of a stressed out body and sluggish metabolism/ thyroid.

Lowered body temperature is your bodies response to conserve energy.
