A male relative of seventy-five (75) years has been complaining of an increased sensitivity to cold temperatures. My first response to his frequent feeling of being cold (as compared to others) was that this was normal for older adults. After thinking about it some more, I have been wondering if his highly sedentary lifestyle might exascerbate this problem. In any case, I was hoping to locate more information that might correlate increased physical activity with a decreased sensivity to cold.

Vitamin C deficiency may be the problem. If he is deficient in C he may also be deficient in other vitamins. Try a couple of good B complex and a couple of thousand mg of C per day. It should help.
Hypothyroidism could be a problem, fairly easily checked and treated. MikeV "Errol Holt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...
