Poor blood circulation adversely impacts the health of the entire body. It inhibits nutrient and oxygen delivery to the body’s tissues, depriving the body of the life-giving substrates it needs to function properly. As a result, an unhealthy circulatory system can drive the development of multiple age-related health concerns, including:
- High blood pressure
- Cognitive impairment
- Decreased sexual function
- Poor exercise tolerance and stamina
- Chronic fatigue
