Or if you are freezing you can put socks on and it warms you up immediately. Otago University physical education professor Jim Cotter. The reader is correct - feet do have a big impact on body temperature, and more so in sleep. The feet are ideally suited to helping us keep a stable body temperature, for a few reasons. They - like the hands - have a large surface area as well as specialised blood vessels which can be opened up to pass high volumes of blood through them and therefore offload heat quickly when required.
When not required, the blood vessels are constricted. This, coupled with the fact that the feet and hands are at the end of our limbs and don't have much muscle which produces heat means that they cool down much more than other regions of the body. So, by using specialised nerves driven by the thermostat in our brain, we can massively change the temperature of our feet to allow our body temperature to be controlled very accurately.
As for the issue of "put socks on and it warms you up immediately"; that's more perception than reality. Admittedly though, in some ways a person's perception is their reality.

Buy this book immediately; you won't regret it. I read The Cure for Cold Feet with my rising 6th grader and it put some much in perspective for us both.
Well written and completely entertaining from start to finish. The author hit another out of the park! My daughter loves this book.

So creative and wonderful. Izzy is growing up and so are her readers. This book couldn't come at a better time as my daughter is just finishing up her sixth grade year. I can't wait to see her reaction to Beth Ain's painfully realistic description of the trials and tribulations of the start of middle school.
This is not the typical suburban divorce YA novel of my youth as the new normal has become more Ain handles complicated issues deftly, crafting Izzy's story in free verse. Don't worry if you missed the first Izzy Klein book Izzy Klein has Butterflies , you can read this as a standalone, but even better if you followed Izzy through her fourth grade year. Buy this for your fifth grader who will identify with all the nerves of leaving the nurturing halls of elementary school and buy it for your sixth and seventh graders who will identify with the daily struggles of surviving the Lord of the Flies world otherwise known as the Middle School Cafeteria.
