Some people have cold or hot hands because of how their blood moves. Imagine your body is like a house, and your hands are rooms that get heated by the blood coming from the heart. If your blood flows quickly to your hands, they feel warm, like a heater turned up high. But if it takes time for the blood to reach your hands, they stay cold, like a room that’s not warmed up yet.
Examples
