Even if we slow down this process it can damage important organs like the brain and heart.<\/p>\n<p>Think of a traffic jam on the 405 in Los Angeles for instance.<\/p>\n<p>When this happens, there is zero productivity happening; no one is getting anything done (let\u2019s pretend iPhones don\u2019t exist for a minute) or delivering goods to areas that need it. In order for the city and surrounding areas to \u201cstay alive,\u201d we need traffic to flow.<\/p>\n<h3>CHRONICALLY TIRED? CRAMPING UP? PAIN IN YOUR LEGS?<\/h3>\n<p>This could be signs that you have\u00a0peripheral artery disease.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the scary part, physicians frequently fail to detect peripheral artery disease (PAD) because the symptoms look like so many other health\u00a0issues, according to the\u00a0American Heart Association. And make no mistake, PAD can be very serious so it\u2019s important to take matters into your own hands to help the doctor accurately see the problem.<\/p>\n<p>And make no mistake, PAD can be very serious so it\u2019s important to take matters into your own hands to help the doctor accurately see the problem.<\/p>\n<p>So, what exactly is PAD?<\/p>\n<p>This occurs when\u00a0plaque builds up in the arteries, a condition known as\u00a0atherosclerosis. Over the years, this plaque can harden and constrict the arteries, essentially slowly choking your body. PAD normally affects the arteries in the legs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Leg pain and cramping<\/li>\n<li>Numbness in legs<\/li>\n<li>Slower than normal healing<\/li>\n<li>Loss of hair on the legs<\/li>\n<li>Shiny skin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Keep in mind that none of the above symptoms may occur or be as noticeable, so it\u2019s best to put your attention towards preventive care measures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prevention and Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are our top 3 suggestions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Increasing physical activity<\/li>\n<li>Eating a\u00a0plant-based diet<\/li>\n<li>Quitting smoking and drinking alcohol<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Dietwise, consider eating more ginger (put it in your smoothies) and garlic. Vitamin E is particularly good for circulation, so nuts like almonds, Brazil nuts, and sunflower seeds.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you can\u2019t go wrong with getting more antioxidants vitamins C, D, and E, beta-carotene, and selenium. This means hit your local farmer\u2019s market and stock up on organic fruits and veggies.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad circulation in and of itself is never good, however, it could mean that you have blocked arteries.
