❄️ Why Does Cold Weather Make You Feel More Achy?
🧠 1. Blood vessels constrict – Muscles receive less oxygen
When the weather gets cold, the body tries to retain heat by narrowing blood vessels near the skin and muscles.
As a result, less blood and oxygen reach the muscles, leading to fatigue and soreness — especially in areas that have been previously injured or inflamed.
🧊 2. Involuntary muscle tension
In cold environments, the body often contracts muscles unconsciously to preserve warmth.
The colder it gets, the tighter your muscles become — increasing the risk of neck, shoulder, back, and lower back pain.
⚙️ 3. Stiff joints – More difficult to move
Synovial fluid, which lubricates your joints, thickens in colder temperatures.
This reduces mobility and may cause stiffness, joint locking, or pain during movement.
🌀 4. Sluggish circulation – Waste build-up
As blood circulation slows down in cold weather, metabolic waste (like lactic acid) is cleared less efficiently.
This leads to chronic soreness, fatigue, and a general heaviness in the body.
