You always have those cold hands and feet, and in the winter it’s even worse : what’s the reason for this and how to treat it ?

Your Body, the regulator

The Body is the regulator of your temperature. when the cold winter is upon us, your body has to make sure that blood is still flowing to your vital organs to keep them warm. Your Body can then modify the blood flow that reach your extremities, hands and feet. As a result, you are cold. Because hands and feet are not vitals.

Some people are more impacted than others. So, what can you do about it ? How to warm up ?

Move and exercise

The first and most efficient way is to move. Maybe your job is a 9 to 5 desk type of job, but you need to get up very often and walk around the office, or the home, to keep the blood flowing. Exercise daily, by walking or running, to help prevent your feet and hands being cold.

Clothes

Pick warm clothes. The most important is to find warm socks. wool socks work best for me. but you can also layer with a warm merino shirt. Layers are better than just a big bulky sweater. Three layers with one made of wool will help your body feel warm.

Move your feet and hands

Just like you would move in a plane to stretech, don’t hesitate to move your toes and fingers while at your desk or sitting at home. this will tall your body “hey, we need blood flow here”.

Hold something warm

A cup of warm coffee or tea can do the trick for a few minutes. Just hold it in your hands and you will feel the warm instantly.

Limit contact with the floor

At home or at work, the floor is likely to be the coldest area. So we recommended slippers at home, made of wool or other warm material. You will feel the difference in a few minutes. Add some extra wool socks and you are good to go. At work, choose winter shoes, again with some extra layer or warmth.

Running in the Winter : how to avoid injury and stay warm ? Wtavl.com is giving the best advice to stay keep running in the cold.

Warmup inside

Don’t just go and run right away in the cold. Warm up either inside your home or start with a fast walk of a few minutes. Your muscles will need that warmth, that extra strength to resist cold temperatures.

Extremities : extra care

Keep your feet, head and hands warm. I usually wear a hat in the winter when i run. Yes, you sweat a bit more but it will help you fight the cold wind. You also need those gloves to keep your 10 fingers warm. Opt for wool beanies and gloves, or technical apparel that act like wind walls.

Dress warm with The Base Layer…

Just like you would for a ski or trekking trip, base layer is the most important. Forget cotton, you need those technical base layers. It’s not a big investment and you will feel cosy and warm while running.

… but don’t dress too warm

You should dress for warmth, but not like you are going skiing in a very hard climate. Running makes your body produce heat, so you need to breath. My advice would be to wear the base layer, a middle layer made of wool if it’s extra cold, and then a winbreaker jacket.

Pick special shoes

Most brands sell winter shoes with bigger traction for running in cold temperature. It’s a good idea to have shoes for the winter season.

Don’t go too fast and stay hydrated

The winter is a hard season for the body. You won’t beat your record in the winter, most likely. It’s a season to stay in shape, keep the heart trained, but not to go too fast. you will also need to stay hydrated. Even in the cold, your body need water.

No exploration

Winter is not the season to explore. Choose a terrain that you know by hear. Every little piece of it. You will likely avoid injury that way, because your body and brain know what’s gonna happen next. Plus, there could be snow that will harden your workout session.

Mix with indoor sessions, rest

If you have gym membership or a home trainer, it’s best to combine outdoor running with an indoor session. Your muscles will be more relaxed indoor, where it’s warmer, and it will add some extra strength. So mix and match indoor and outdoor. Don’t forget to rest. Even more so than during warmer season. Maybe remove one session from your schedule and give your body that rest that is much needed.

The Sun has found the Real Kylian Mbappé : he is french, but doesn’t play for PSG and actually lives in Leicester.

Kylian Mbappé amazes the World during this World Cup in Qatar. He’s the star of this tournament, but The Sun actually found the “Real” Kylian Mbappé. He is not french, doesn’t play for PSG and actually lives in Leicester.

Mbappé, 16, is backing England against France. “If Gareth Southgate called me up I’d stop Mbappe. I’m pretty fast like him. It must run in the family. And I’m a decent defender”.

French but feels English

But who is this Kylian Mbappé ? “English Kylian was born in Paris to Steeve, 46 — cousin of Mbappe’s dad Wilfried”, according to The Sun. So he is “My dad and family are all supporting France but I’m behind England. All my friends are Three Lions-mad”, says the teenager.

And he wishes to play for England rather than France. “And if I’m honest, I’m more English than French now. I speak better English, I’ve lived here for longer, I love baked beans and Greggs. I’d pick a sausage roll over a croque monsieur any day.”

“When my son was born I didn’t even think about the name. I picked Kylian because I liked the meaning (little warrior)”, says the father. But he couldn’t just not know that another Kylian Mbappé, from his cousin, was born a few years before… but he didn’t know.

“It was only when I went with Wilfried to watch his son, we thought the coincidence was hilarious. I would not swap my boys for the world and I have the real No1 Kylian Mbappe”, he says.
