Winter’s chill triggers vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow to extremities as the body prioritises core warmth. This narrowed circulation limits oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues while slowing metabolic waste removal. Cellular enzymes operate at suboptimal efficiency at low temperatures, and rigidified cell membranes impede nutrient exchange. The body’s thermoregulatory demands divert…
