Health Tips for Days When You Feel Sick : Stop Frostbite on Your Feet

You have poor circulation and every time you walk in the cold, your toes and feet freeze. Sometimes they can even turn purple!

Take a chile pepper and inside your sock where it gets the coldest οΎ– usually at the toes. This will keep your feet from freezing.
