what can I do about having poor circulation?

Question

I'm healthy and not fat, lazy or anything else

Answer 1

I'm not an expert, but I think stretch, massage (especially the extremeties like hands,fingers, toes, feet), and cardio exercise are the first. Are you anemic (low blood level), does your heart beat "normally", do you try to use the full extent of your lung capacity? There may be something in what's in your blood (vitamins or just white/red cell count). It's also very good to do breathing exercises to use your lungs fully (circulating oxygen in the blood). I'm a firm believer that proper stretching (holding a stretch for a period of time before going to another muscle group/more like yoga-as a form of stress relief/meditation) is extremely important in total health. Doctors have a clip that goes on your finger to measure circulation (my daughter's pediatrician used it), so you may want to start there. I hope this helps!

Arteriosclerosis / Atherosclerosis

Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body. Healthy arteries are flexible, strong and elastic. Over time, however, too much pressure in your arteries can make the walls thick and stiff — sometimes restricting blood flow to your organs and tissues. This process is called arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.

Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis, but the terms are often used interchangeably.

Although atherosclerosis is often considered a heart problem, it can affect arteries anywhere in your body. For example:

When arteries leading to your limbs are affected, you may develop circulation problems in your arms and legs called peripheral arterial disease.
When arteries to your heart are affected, you may have coronary artery disease, chest pain (angina) or a heart attack.
When arteries supplying blood to your brain are affected, you could have a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke.
Atherosclerosis can also lead to a bulge in the wall of your artery (aneurysm).
You may not know that you have atherosclerosis until a hardened artery causes a medical emergency. But you can take steps to protect yourself. Healthy lifestyle changes and medications can help.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
If you have leg pain, numbness or other symptoms, don't dismiss them as a "normal part of aging." Call your doctor and make an appointment if you have these telltale signs and symptoms of peripheral arterial disease:

Leg pain that occurs after walking a certain distance
Leg numbness or weakness
Cold legs or feet
Sores on your toes, feet or legs that won't heal
A change in the color of your legs
Hair loss on your feet and legs
Changes in your toenails
Early diagnosis and treatment of PAD is important not only to preserve the health of your limbs, but also to decrease your risk of heart disease, stroke and other health problems.
