Circulation itself is never good, but it means your arteries are clogged. A blocked artery can kill you. That is why it is important to know the symptoms in order to notice them in time.
In almost all cases, poor circulation means that your health is deteriorating and you need to see a doctor. It can be anything from low blood pressure to heart disease or diabetes.
What other factors can cause poor circulation?
Smoking
Too much sitting (see the video below for exercises to improve blood circulation)
Eating a lot of fast food
Obesity (just imagine)
Why is good circulation important?
All the organs in your body depend on your free-flowing blood to get the vital nutrients they need to function. Even if we slow down this process, it can damage vital organs like the brain and heart.
Consider, for example, traffic on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles.
In this case, the performance is zero; No one will do anything (let’s say no iPhone) to get the goods to the places they need them. We need traffic flow to keep the city and surrounding areas ‘survival’.

So what is PAD?
This happens when plaque builds up in the arteries, which is called atherosclerosis. Over the years, this plaque hardens and narrows the arteries, causing gradual suffocation. PAD usually affects the veins in the legs.
Symptoms
Leg pain and swelling
Numbness in the legs
Recovery is slower than usual
Hair loss on legs
Glowing skin
Remember that none of the above-mentioned symptoms may be visible or noticeable, so it is worth paying attention to preventive measures.
