The first step to solving the problem is recognizing the warning signs of poor circulation. Look out for these six signs:
- Numbness or tingling in the legs and feet: This feeling is often described as “pins and needles” and may be a sign that blood is not flowing freely to the extremities.
- Persistent coldness in your feet, even in warm environments: When blood flow is restricted, your feet may not receive the warmth they need, causing them to feel cold to the touch.
- Muscle cramps after walking or exercising: If your muscles are not getting enough oxygen from your blood, they can easily cramp during or after physical activity.
