Here Are 7 Warning Signs You Have Blocked Arteries
Poor circulation is never good in itself, but it does mean your arteries are blocked. Clogged arteries can kill you. That is why it is important to know the signs so that you can recognize it in time.
In almost all cases, poor circulation means you are in poor health and should see a doctor. It can mean anything from low blood pressure to heart disease and diabetes.
What are some other things that can affect circulation?
Smoking
Sitting too much (see video below for cardiovascular exercises)
Eat fast food, eat a lot
obesity (imagine that)
Why is good circulation important?
Every organ in your body depends on your free-flowing blood to get the nutrients it needs to function properly. Even if we slow this process down, it can damage vital organs like the brain and heart.
For example, imagine traffic jams on the 405 in Los Angeles.
In this case, productivity is zero; Nobody does anything (assuming there are no iPhones) or delivers goods to the places that need them. We absolutely need transport to keep our cities and the surrounding areas alive.
Are you chronically tired? WRITE? INJURED FEET?
This could be a sign that you have peripheral arterial disease.
According to the American Heart Association, the scary part is that doctors often don't diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) because the symptoms can look like many other health problems. Make no mistake, PAD can be very serious, so it's important to do your own thing to help your doctor diagnose the problem.

What exactly is a PAD?
This happens when plaque builds up in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis. Over the years, this plaque hardens and narrows the arteries, causing your body to suffocate. PAD usually affects the veins in the legs.

Here are our top 3 recommendations:
Increase physical activity
Consume plant-based foods
Quit smoking and drinking alcohol
Consider eating more ginger (add it to your smoothies) and garlic in your diet. Nuts such as almonds, Brazil nuts and sunflower seeds as vitamin E is good for the circulatory system.
And you can't go wrong with increasing your intake of antioxidant vitamins C, D, E, beta-carotene and selenium. That means going to the local farmer's market and stocking up on organic fruits and vegetables.
