7. Hypothyroidism

The thyroid gland affects virtually every organ system, secreting hormones that play an integral role in the regulation of metabolism. If thyroid hormone production decreases, cells burn less energy and the body generates less heat. Thus, people with this condition may feel chilly while others are comfortable. Hypothyroidism may be temporary or permanent; fortunately, many causes are easy to diagnose and treat.
