AJNAMAT HELPS TO BOOST CIRCULATION NATURALLY
Good circulation is one of the most important functions of your body. Many believe good circulation is the fountain of good health, especially optimal vitality. Circulation is the movement of blood, nutrients and oxygen around your body. Heart and blood vessels function to produce circulation or the movement of fluid through your body. Most of us know this, but do we know the importance of good circulation? As many of us are sitting or standing at our desks all day working, the importance of good circulation may be something we all need to understand a bit more about.
Lack of movement and sitting all day at our desks, will, of course, cause poor circulation. Smoking, overeating, poor nutrition, stress and lack of exercise will also cause poor circulation. Poor circulation may also be caused by an underlying health condition such as diabetes, arterial issues, obesity, heart conditions, blood clots, varicose veins, Raynaud’s disease and peripheral artery disease.
Muscle cramps are often the most common symptom of poor circulation. Other signs that you may need to improve your circulation include; cellulite, poor skin health, pain, tingling and stinging feeling in the extremities of your body.
Without alarming anyone, poor circulation will simply make you feel flat and unenergised. However, if you are not working on improving your circulation daily then health conditions may start to develop. Studies are showing that several health conditions including heart failure may be caused by poor circulation.
