Before you finish the cursory reading of your fingers, let's do a last-minute vitality check. Does circulation seem healthy in all of your fingers, or are there lots of blotchy spots spread from knuckle to fingertip?

If you see lots of white blotches on otherwise healthy-looking fingers, you likely suffer from circulatory problems and crave physical warmth. If the blood seems to be flowing normally and you have lively pink fingertips, you are healthy and very interested in staying so. Your fingers carry “vital signs” of their own, and they can change from time to time — so check them at least once a year to be sure your circulatory system is spreading its wealth.
