Tingle, Tingle - Where's My Blood?

Circulatory systems occur in all living things, from earth worms to mammals. As humans, our complex system of blood vessels is attached to the blood-pumping heart, which is responsible for keeping the blood flowing in the right directions. We all know we need air to breathe, and that's because every cell in our bodies need that oxygen, too.

Circulatory systems occur in all living things, from earth worms to mammals. 
As humans, our complex system of blood vessels is attached to the blood-pumping 
heart, which is responsible for keeping the blood flowing in the right 
directions. We all know we need air to breathe, and that's because every cell in 
our bodies need that oxygen, too. The circulatory system is the responsible 
party; oxygen travels through the blood stream via the arteries, delivered to 
all of the organs, tissues, and cells by way of vessels and capillaries, and 
then the deoxygenated blood goes back to the heart, through the veins, to grab 
some more. Some people, though, have poor circulation, which means that either 
the blood isn't delivering enough oxygen to some extremities, or it isn't 
getting there at all.
Causes of poor circulation range widely, but one of the main reasons is that 
there is an obstruction that just won't let the oxygen through. Think about 
this: have you ever woken from a deep slumber and realized your hand has been 
under your head? As you come back to consciousness, the numbness in your hand 
gives way to tingling, like pins and needles. This is because the pressure you 
had on your hand prevented the blood from getting to your fingers. As the 
pressure lets up and the blood flows freely once more, a sensation of tingling 
occurs; this is the blood finally getting back in. For some people, there 
fingers, toes, even their legs, always have this problem.
Poor circulation usually happens in the elderly, and can mostly be attributed 
to hardened arteries that supply blood to the legs. For these people, there are 
oral medications that can help break up the cholesterol clogs on the artery 
walls and restore blood flow. Other people, diabetics in particular, tend to 
always have cold feet and hands. This is because the circulatory system, in its 
delivery of blood, is also what makes sure the temperature stays constant. And 
when the blood does not get the whole way to where it has to go, the pinkish 
color of healthy, blood rich skin gives way to a blue tinge. This is a sure sign 
of poor circulation. For those people who have continuously bluish colored lips, 
fingertips, and toes, it means that poor circulation is probably the result of 
the heart not being strong enough to pump the blood hard enough.
Poor circulation, as with any health issue, should be investigated by your 
personal doctor. Don't neglect your health or put off this much-needed visit.
