Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Complacency is dangerous when it comes to heart and circulatory health. Virtually all of us have elevated blood pressure readings throughout the day depending on stress levels. In fact, over 50 million Americans have diagnosable high blood pressure that is destroying their circulatory system each time their heart beats. A vitally important fact to recognize is that as your heart, just a 10-ounce pump, experiences wear and tear, it is further compounded by compromised microcirculation. Even under the best of circumstances at rest, 27 percent of the total resistance that your heart must pump against arises from your microcirculatory system, though only 5 percent of your blood is within these small vessels while at rest. Thus an unhealthy microcirculatory system can contribute to higher blood pressure as well as the starvation of your cells. In fact, a leading cardiology journal summarized it well, “Anti-hypertensives (drugs) should not only be assessed by reduction of blood pressure, but also in terms of their capacity to prevent or correct structural changes of the microvascular network.”
Diabetes mellitus (Sugar Diabetes)
Diabetes is the single fastest rising cause of death in North America, with new cases piling up at a rate of 800,000 annually. One of the major reasons for pre-mature death from elevated blood sugar arises from compromised circulation leading to heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, dental disease, nervous system disease and countless types of infections. A study conducted at the University of Exeter in the UK concluded that, “The late complications of diabetes represent microcirculation dysfunction”.iii Millions of North American’s are walking around undiagnosed, yet the increased damage to their body is occurring each and every day. In Maryland alone, there are estimated to be 258,000 residents with diabetes, with only half of them having been diagnosed. The impact of early intervention and microcirculation support cannot be over emphasized; educating a friend or family member can be a life-saving intervention that rewards you and them literally for a lifetime.
Smokers Require Enhanced Microcirculation
If you or a loved one smokes, it is imperative to increase your antioxidant intake and improve your microcirculation. Individuals addicted to nicotine experience a narrowing of their arteries (vasoconstriction) that increases the resistance in their circulatory system as noted in the journal, Microcirculation.iv The ultimate effect is that the heart must then pump against greater resistance, while at the same time there is less oxygen and blood flow in the body to nourish tissues and remove additional waste products. Until you or a loved one is successful in achieving the ultimate health enhancement of smoking cessation, investing in your health by improving microcirculation and increasing antioxidant protection is key.
Are You Stressed?
The answer for virtually everyone is ‘yes’. Whether it is mental or physical stress your body is constantly barraged by outside influences that challenge your ability to survive amongst the chaos, let alone survive. The effects of stress are numerous and include lowered immune function and diminished blood flow.
Thus, with increased stress, the tissues of your body are asked to cope with a heightened level of alertness or readiness, commonly known as the “fight or flight response”. Yet during stress your circulation to vital internal organs is detrimentally altered as reported in Microcirculation, a leading research journal.v Millions of us exist in this state of proverbial drought conditions when it comes to proper circulation. Therefore, actively enhancing overall circulation is vital to support your body’s ability to survive the daily grind.
A Picture of a OK MicroCirculation
This is a picture taken with a special high powered Microscope. The picture is taken at the skin fold adjacent to the nail bed of your finger . The capillaries are straight and going upwards. The wave like at the top "mmmmm" shows a good immune system. The clarity of the picture that the oxygen level in the blood is good. These are a few pointers that I can tell about this Microcirculation picture taken from a friend of mine.
