Wondering why you got toothache or dry skin suddenly in winter. here is my view as a dentist and clinical cosmetologist. As warm-blooded mammals, our bodies are designed to function optimally at a warm temperature. During winters, when the temperature drops, our body's primary goal is to conserve energy. To achieve this, our metabolic processes slow down. Here are some ways our body adapts: 1. *Constricting blood vessels*: By constricting blood vessels, our body reduces blood volume and conserves heat. This temporary reduction in blood flow helps minimize heat loss. 2. *Reducing peripheral circulation*: Our body reduces blood flow to extremities like hands, feet, and ears, directing it instead to vital organs like the brain, heart, and lungs. So what's the catch for us. Reduced blood flow to skin, hair and oral cavity. Causing : 1. Gum swelling and tooth ache 2. Dry dehydrated skin 3. Dry brittle hair. How do we address this?
