Poor Circulation
Poor circulation occurs when the body’s blood flow is insufficient. The circulatory system transports blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. People may experience problems with their arms, legs, and hands circulation. In addition, they could feel soreness, numbness, tingling, and burning or throbbing pain.
When the arteries, heart, veins, capillaries, and other blood vessels are in good condition, they can efficiently supply the nutrients that cells require. It is a never-ending cycle where waste is removed from cells, and oxygen and other essentials are delivered to them.
When something goes wrong with a component of the delivery mechanism or the valves that regulate which direction blood flows, problems occur. Some causes of poor circulation include smoking, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and diabetes.
The condition is more likely to affect individuals older than 40, who are overweight, have diabetes, and don’t exercise much. People with poor circulation should follow an exercise regimen suggested by their doctor. Other remedies vary based on the underlying cause of the problem.
