POOR BLOOD CIRCULATION

Healthy blood circulation is essential for achieving the ultimate health.
The blood vessels carries fresh oxygenated blood with nutrients to the organs and tissues from the tip of the head to the toes while any congestion or blockage in the veins and arteries can deprive the heart, lungs, brain, kidneys, extremities and other organs of the oxygen rich blood and cause a host of other medical conditions. Inadequate blood flow slows down healing from sickness and injury then further complicates already existing medical history.

Poor blood circulation is a silent killer, which can appear due to numerous factors

Symptoms are:
1. Tingling in the lower extremities
2. Numbness or pain from time to time
3. Muscle cramps
4. Cold hands and feets
5. Unpleasant sensation in the body
6. Water retention
7. Headache
8. Insomnia
9. Loss of libido
10. Mental acuity and lots more
The symptoms of poor blood circulation usually develop over time and therefore there is need to recognize them on time.

Blood clot can develop due to poor blood circulation caused by poor physical activities,
hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, smoking and drug abuse, blood clots can travel to the heart or lungs and block major veins and arteries, causing serious health problems like heart attack, stroke and even death. Inflamed and blocked veins and arteries caused by cholesterol, plague, or high blood sugar in diabetes patients cannot fully supply the extremities with nutrients and oxygenated blood necessary for their functioning.
