How to Cure Cold Hands!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Unless your landlord forgot to turn on the heat. *pause, weird smile*

Ever wonder why your hands and feet get so cold? How you can stop it?

No need to worry, your body is just in super early stages of hypothermia.

When exposed to cold temperatures, the skin alerts the brain to constrict blood vessels, which cuts off bloodflow to extremities, keeping your internal, vital organs warm. (Chotani, Flavan, et. al.)

There's tons of solutions out there but we're gonna make this as simple as possible with good-ole di-hydrogen monoxide... h2o... water.

So let's get it on and poppin!

Water conducts heat 25 times faster than air, meaning when your body is submerged in warm water (show), it'll warm rather quickly.

Now all you gotta do is take it out, quickly dry off and insta-warm.
