You already know that it’s important to keep your cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure at a healthy level. However, are you aware that maintaining a healthy blood flow is just as important, especially at the age of 40 and above?
Blood circulation is a significant body function as it circulates blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the heart, brain and upper and lower limbs and removing carbon dioxide and other waste products from the bloodstream.
As we age, our blood is prone to be thicker (or more viscous) than usual which can interrupt blood flow. When the blood that flows through the blood vessels to a specific part of our body is reduced or blocked, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the organ tissues will be insufficient and can subsequently lead to several health complications including:
Numbness and tingling sensations in hands and feet: When blood flow is restricted, blood cannot reach the extremities (hands and feet) sufficiently which can result in numbness and tingling sensations.
Cold hands and feet: Normal body temperature depends on a consistent supply of blood for thermoregulation, as blood absorbs and distributes heat throughout the body. When blood flow is restricted, it can lead to temperature fluctuations in skin and nerve endings of hands and feet.
Fatigue: Inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the organs and muscle tissues can lead to an overwhelming feeling of fatigue. Poor blood circulation can also increase the burden of our heart as it needs to pump harder which can lead to further fatigue.
Joint and muscle cramps: Inadequate oxygen to the muscle and joint tissues can cause severe pain and cramp in that particular area when walking or exercising.
Poor blood circulation can adversely affect our health, emotional status and overall quality of life. There are several factors which can cause poor blood circulation including age, overweight/obesity, poor eating habits, alcohol consumption, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and certain medical conditions such as high cholesterol level and high blood pressure. Therefore, keeping our blood circulating efficiently is essential to an overall physical wellbeing.
