Poor circulation is quite common in the peripheral parts, or outer reaches of your body, including your hands, feet, legs and brain, as they are quite distant from the heart and at greatest risk of inadequate blood supply. Inadequate blood supply can occur at these sites due to muscle contraction in the small blood vessels, or the capillaries themselves may be weak. Diet and lifestyle choices such as poor diet, dehydration, smoking and physical inactivity may all contribute to problems with peripheral circulation.
