Warm Hand and Warm Hearts

I'm a kind of cold-blooded person.My hands and feet are getting colder when I am exposed to cold weather.

I think my cold intolerance maybe partly related to this physiologic responses.

As far as I remember,my mom had tried to change those conditions by feeding me various kinds of oriental medicine but it was not fruitful.

I think this is a my natural weak point.After entering medical fields,I had tried to figure it out through endocrine test such as a thyroid hormone study.

It is known as a body temperature regulator and related to sense of coldness with thalamus in brain.However all laboratory studies were within normal range.

Recently I heard an interesting news. In an experiment, people who held something warm were easily open-minded. They were more likely to perceive someone else as emotionally warm and behave in a friendly way themselves.

These days,I am trying to hold warm tea or hot coffee while I work at my office.I really want to be a warm-hearted person as well.
