Understanding Poor Circulation
Any blockage to your extensive circulatory system, which supplies your body with blood, oxygen, and nutrients, results in poor circulation. Your heart, veins, arteries, capillaries, and other blood vessels can efficiently supply your cells with all the nutrients they require when they are in good health.
Symptoms of Poor Circulation
- Pain in the legs, feet, arms, and hands
- Cold hands and feet that ache or throb, especially upon warming
- Insufficient oxygen and nutrition delivery to tissues
- Stiffness and cramping due to impaired circulation
