When your hands and feet are always cold...

In this brief instructional segment, Wim Hof explains how to prevent the loss of blood flow to cold hands and feet during cold exposure. He advises starting with partial immersion—submerging only the hands and/or feet—so the body can focus its circulatory response on those extremities. Full-body immersion, by contrast, can cause the body to prioritize core temperature and sacrifice peripheral circulation, leading to numbness or damage. By first exposing just the extremities, the body adapts without shutting down blood flow, providing a safer and more effective method for dealing with cold in the hands and feet.
