10 Warning Signs of Poor Blood Circulation

We’d all agree that the human body is a very tricky matter. Everything in it is connected to each other, functioning in a circle in order to maintain the proper work of the system.

A good circulatory system definitely plays the most important role in maintaining a good condition of our health. There are many factors that can cause poor blood circulation including drinking, smoking, obesity as well as poor diet.

Poor blood circulation can lead to many health issues such as diabetes, blood clots, and heart diseases.

So, in order to prevent this to happen, we will present some of the warning signs of poor blood circulation. Make sure to read them very carefully!

Poor Blood Circulation

A decreased blood flow can have an impact on the kidneys function, making them unable to carry out the blood where it is needed. The blood stays in one place, settling around the tissues, which in turn causes swelling of the lower extremities.

Swelling usually occurs as a result of PMS, pregnancy or sedentary lifestyle, but if you experience it constantly and if you can’t solve it by raising the legs above the level of the heart, you should immediately visit your doctor.

The deficiency of vitamin B12 and exposure to cold can also be the cause of numbness in the extremities.

Furthermore, if you have cold feet and hands, this can also be a sign that there is not a good circulation of the blood and it is not able to get to the furthest ends of the body.

You can solve this by rubbing your feet and hands in order to provoke the blood flow. However, if you constantly experience this, we recommend you to visit a doctor immediately.

The slowing down of the blood circulation can be noticed in the entire body, out and inside. Excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine, stress, depression, inactivity and insomnia can cause constant tiredness and fatigue, which in turn weakens the immune system and makes the body more susceptible to injuries.

If your body is more likely to suffer, and your wounds take much more to heal, this means that the blood circulation does not deliver the essential minerals and vitamins throughout the entire body. This can further lead to rapid hair loss.

If your scalp does not receive the needed vitamins, your hair will become dry and will quickly start to fall off. Bad circulation leads to dry skin and damaged nails as well. In order to prevent this, make sure to exercise every day, at least half an hour.

In addition, beware of varicose veins because they are easy to detect, they are extremely visible and swollen. The veins pop because of lack of circulation, making the person experience heaviness and leg pain.

If there is no a proper blood flow in the reproductive organs, this may lead to erectile dysfunction. Further on, this can cause problems to achieve or sustain erection. This condition can be connected to atherosclerosis. So, men who suffer from this problem should consult a doctor in order to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease.

If you are dealing with this, it is very important to consult your doctor and to get the proper treatment and medicine.

Cyanosis is when the oxygen level in the blood is reduced. It causes the lips, gums, skin, and even fingertips to turn blue. If you notice some of these signs, make sure to consult your doctor immediately.

Experiencing tightness or heaviness in the chest means that the heart can’t function properly because of the decreased blood flow. This can become a life-threatening issue, so we highly recommend you to consult your doctor as soon as possible.

In order to prevent a low flow of blood in your body, make sure to get enough sleep avoid stress, and have a healthy diet that includes a lot of fiber in your meals.

Also, it is very important to quit smoking, reduce the consumption of alcohol, and replace the coffee with green tea. Exercise regularly, wear comfortable shoes, and pay attention to your posture because a straight spine means a long life!

7 Signs You Are Eating Too Much Sugar

Life can often be unfair, and one such instance is the fact that we all just love sugar, while it is detrimental to our health.

The taste of sweet is simply irresistible, but as soon as you learn the effects of sugar, you should definitely try to stay away from it as often as possible.

The following signs indicate that you consume too much sugar, and it is high time to do something about

Cravings for Sugar/Carbs

You are probably a sugar addict if you often crave for something sweet. Sugar causes addictions, and its consumption leads to a chain reaction of sugar cravings.

Lack of energy and tiredness

If you are constantly feeling tired and you lack energy, you are probably consuming too much sugar. Foods high in sugar temporarily boost the energy, and afterwards, you are experiencing a crash, and you remain tired throughout the day.

Weight Gain

Sugar is free of fiber and protein, so it does not lead to a feeling of satiety, and the more sugar we consume, the more calories we get. Sugar triggers the release of insulin which carries the sugar to the body organs in order to be used for energy.

Hence, the excessive intake of sugar sends a message to the body to produce more insulin, which causes insulin resistance over time. In that case, the body is not able to react to the normal amounts of insulin, and cannot use sugar as needed.

Insulin resistance is linked to weight gain and obesity, as well as diabetes, as the pancreas becomes overwhelmed.

Frequent Colds and Flu

The high intake of sugar also weakens the immune system, and its ability to prevent colds, viruses, flu, and chronic diseases. If you manage to reduce the consumption of sugar, you will lower the risk of these health issues.

Not the Same Sweet Taste as Before

Alpert claims that the intake of too much sugar bombards the taste buds by increasing their tolerance to sugar. Hence, you will start craving for even sweeter foods over time.

It is difficult in the beginning, but if you succeed to reduce the intake of sugar, you will also lower the tolerance level and thus you will be satisfied with low sugar amounts. After a certain period of time, some things will become just too sweet for you.

Foggy Brain, especially after a meal

Brain fog is one of the most common symptoms of low blood sugar. The consumption of high sugar amounts rapidly raises, and then suddenly drops the blood sugar. Experts maintain that improper control of blood sugar raises the risk of cognitive issues and impairment.

Skin and feet issues, and dark circles under the eyes

The consumed sugar acts as an inflammatory in the body, and thus causes various inflammatory skin issues, like acne, eczema, rosacea, and excessive dryness and oiliness. If you reduce the intake of sugar, your skin will become clean and soft.

Moreover, Dr. Sherri Greene, a podiatrist in New York City, claims that the inflammatory effects of sugar might cause plantar fasciitis. This condition leads to pain in the thick band of tissue on the heels and soles.

The excessive intake of sweet foods could also cause adrenaline fatigue, which is often manifested by dark circles under the eyes.

If you experience the symptoms listed above, you should try to limit the intake of sugar as soon as possible, in order to improve your health and avoid numerous health issues.

These People Are Trying To Make 'Hand Salad' A Thing Because Humanity Is Devolving

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “hand salad”?

Well I’m sorry to inform those of you anticipating a cannibal story involving the delicious deli stylings of a murderous local bistro, but that isn’t the story you’re about to hear. Instead, prepare yourselves for what could be the most despicable food crime in all of history.

While it’s no surprise that we as a society have come to appreciate fast food and low-maintenance meals, there are just some foods you don’t mess with. I consider myself to be a salad lover and will admit that not once have I thought to myself, “Boy, this salad is so yummy, but you know what would make it better? Eating it with my hands.” But for those of you who find using a fork and knife too taxing for your culinary needs, food magazine “Bon Appetit” has unveiled a finger-licking good salad recipe that the internet is going crazy for…but not in a good way.

On Monday, the publication posted a hand salad recipe which is basically nothing more than a few leaves of romaine lettuce accompanied by a lemon-yogurt dressing.

Now if you’re cynical like I am, the first question that probably came to your mind was “if someone doesn’t have the time to make a traditional salad, why would they make any effort to make their own salad dressing?”

Also, couldn’t you pick any old dippable vegetable and call it a “salad”?

Another thing I found perplexing about this hand salad was that the directions say “arrange romaine leaves in a bowl,” you know, like you would with any other salad. But what’s most mind-boggling about this culinary crime is that people are paying over $40 to eat this nonsense.

But because the internet is the greatest thing ever, people aren’t being fooled by this handheld health trend.

If we just add the word hand in front of every food, does that make us master chefs?

We call that pizza from where I’m from.

I hear this salad pairs well with finger sandwiches.

But hey while we’re at it let’s try out a “hand PBJ” and add it to the menu of an upscale lunchbox meal.

But of all the hilarious reactions to the hand salad, none of them have spoken to me on a spiritual level quite like this:

Would you order a hand salad if you saw it on the menu at a restaurant? Let us know in the comments and be sure to share this foodie folly with everyone you know!

She Thought Her Daughter's Favorite Craft Was Harmless. Then This Happened.

Just about every kid has made some kind of silly-putty, gak, or slime with borax. That said, what happened to this little girl in Massachusetts is making me think twice about letting my kids break out this popular craft supply.

Borax in small amounts is not dangerous. It’s comprised of water, sodium, oxygen, and boron, and is very similar to baking soda. Many people use it to make homemade cleaners and laundry detergent, but an important step in any borax project is diluting it with water, especially before touching it with your bare hands. From the looks of what happened to this little girl, that detail was overlooked.

Eleven-year-old Kathleen Quinn made slime at a sleepover in mid-March, but when she came home, she kept complaining that her hands hurt.

YouTube / Fox 4 Now

Kathleen’s mom took a closer look and was shocked by what she saw. The family rushed to the hospital, where doctors informed them that she’d suffered third-degree burns.

The Quinns are hoping that by sharing their story, other children can avoid the painful experience that Kathleen has endured. If your kids are using borax in a craft project, consider supplying them with latex gloves. While extended exposure is rare, it’s worth taking every precaution.

Be sure to share this story as a warning to other parents. To Kathleen, we wish you a speedy recovery!

Working Really Sucks, But This Dog-On-Ice Video Is About To Make Everything Better

When it comes to skating, I can barely stay on my feet, let alone display any iota of grace on the ice.

This dog, on the other hand, can not only walk just fine on the slippery surface, but he can also play fetch like a damn pro. Before a hockey game was set to start on March 25 at the Verizon Center, a golden retriever showed off his impressive balancing skills while playing fetch with a Washington, D.C. police officer on the rink.

Sure, he slipped a couple of times, but could you sprint full-force on the ice without falling even once? Share if you wish you even had half of this cutie’s skills!
