Poor circulation

[jeanette1976]

IMy hands and feet are always cold, unless I've been in the shower or its roasting hot outside. Sometimes, I even wear gloves in the summer! What is poor circulation caused by, what will it eventually lead to and what can i do to prevent it? Thanks.... x

Smoking ... do you?

You may have Raynauds Syndrome. I take Nifedipine, which helps but causes swollen legs.

Spellin sh*te, by try GINKOGALOBA..sure that's about it! Helps with circulation! Smoking a big factor, as is diet and exercise .

Thanks for pointing that out... Sadly, I DO smoke between 5-7 per day and about 20 on a weekend night when i go out. Excercise could be better, but I DO eat healthily, very few sweets or E numbers.... I may try eating those ginger bites from holland and Barrett though....

Thanks X

Nixnjay, that will be Ginkgo Biloba!!

Did you know that the Ginkgo Biloba is the Mother of all trees and every tree on the planet is a descendant of it, the male of the tree also produces sperm to fertilize the female tree.

Jeanette, you are so beautiful but sadly all this goes to pot if you smoke. It will be like having an Aston Martin with an "Asda Representative" sticker on the wings.

It's not big and it's not clever. Quit now!!!

But the old adage does say, cold hands-warm heart. It is just a shame your heart is filled with cancer stinking badness!!!!

Spoken like a gentleman, Wardy.... funny, my dad has an Aston and it has scratches on the front where I put my pet rabbit as a kid.... I got sent to bed with an orange.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the pubs banning smoking... its a great idea. I'm from Singapore and when i last visited family, I got shamed from the public for flicking my ASH in the street... you have to do it in the bins provided... and i think they've got the running of the country (island) down to a tee...
