It's common knowledge that exercise is a key component to good health - healthy heart, healthy weight, healthy mind, and so on. That said, have you ever considered whether or how much of your body is actually in motion? We often fail to include our circulatory and lymphatic systems when considering our body's motion. Circulation is the transport mechanism that involves the whole body, from the largest vessels to the smallest. Almost 74% of all blood vessels in our body are micro-vessels. If stretched out in one continuous path, they would amass more than 75,000 miles. The circulation of our blood is the engine that keeps us going. The heart pumps blood through the main arteries, but it relies on the additional power of the autonomous pumping motion of the micro-vessels. It is these very small vessels that reach the most remote parts of our body.
Your body's ability to take out the trash, or lymphatic flow, can be impacted as we age, or are affected by illness. Cellular changes can reduce the bodies ability to methylate, or detox. This can result in toxin buildup and escalating symptoms. Some early or acute signs of poor blood circulation can include cold hands/feet, swelling and aches in your feet and legs, muscle cramping, numbness and tingling in your extremities, and general fatigue. Over time this can lead to further issues, such as digestive problems, cognitive dysfunction, leg ulcers, blood clots, and varicose veins. Watch this video to see how our circulation can slow without enhanced support. Circulation is vital to recovery and maintaining good health. Only good, functional circulation ensures proper supply of nutrients and oxygen as well as proper waste removal within the body. Whether you are healthy or seeking wellness, this matters for you.
