During cold weather, many people find themselves suffering from circulation problems that affect their toes, fingers and other extremities.

British newspaper the Daily Mail has offered some tips to those who may struggle with losing circulation in different parts of their body.

First off, the article suggests drying your hands thoroughly after washing them – and if you are in a public restroom, using hand dryers.

Another recommendation is to keep water in the bathtub after having a bath, because the heat it emits can help keep you warm.

When out on the town, the publication advises people to carry shoulder bags rather than bags with handles, as these may lead to blood being restricted in the hands.

Giving up smoking is a further way to improve circulation, as the habit reduces blood supply and lowers skin temperature, according to the article.

There are a number of natural health resources on the market aimed at improving circulation, including herbal supplements containing nattokinase.

Nattokinase is the enzyme found in natto, a soy-based food that has been used in Japan for centuries.
