Winter is here and temperatures are dropping. To avoid nerve pain and cold sensitivity, take some steps to keep yourself protected! ❄️☃️

Plan ahead. Pay attention to the weather forecast and if you’re going outside, bring travel blankets or extra layers to combat the cold.

Avoid Caffeine. Caffeine can cause blood vessels to narrow, limiting blood flow and increasing the chance of nerve pain. Try a nice warm decaffeinated tea!

Keep temperatures consistent. Avoid dramatic shifts in temperature. Make sure you take a gradual approach, and start at a lower heat with a heat pad or warm bath.

What are some of your tips for managing cold intolerance? Comment below!

"La resiliencia no es solo resistir,
sino también crecer a través de la
adversidad."

“Resilience is not just about enduring, but
also about growing through adversity.”
