Your blood circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system, helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to every cell in your body. Using your heart and blood vessels, it makes its way to every inch of your body. While the arteries are used to carry blood away from your heart, the veins are designed to help move the blood back to your heart.
A human body consists of 60,000 miles of blood vessels, paired with your muscles and heart; they create a circulatory system like no other. This roadway helps carry blood to every corner of your body to ensure optimal health. However, when the circulation is low, it starts to slow down and block the blood flow depriving the cells in your body of healthy nutrients and oxygen they need to thrive, leading to numbness and/or cold hands and feet.
