Whenever I go to a cold place, the hands felt to be more colder quicker than most part of the body. I'm just curious, why does that happen? So my question is, why hands is the easiest to be the coldest first? Thanks for your respond :). Happy MyLotting :).

I don't know WHY but i find it intriguing as well.But in my case my fingers get cold as well.Especially when I'm nervous.Its probably some hormone in our body.As to why wen we go to a cold place our hands get cold first?I think maybe its cause our hands are a little further away from our bodies core,where the most blood is circulated and so less of our body heat reaches our hands and they get cold?I'm not sure though..........

Thanks for your respond. Wait, my teacher said something like that too a long time ago. So you must be right that hands is the farthest from the heart. I should try putting my hands inside of my shirt and feel the warmth next time :). Happy MyLotting :).
