A member asked:

Can there be any good circulation body or leg posture which will help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, but certainly a: Supervised exercise program to help with increase development of collateral channels. These are minute vessels which with exercises become larger to allow for circulation to bypass a blocked site. Quitting to smoke and ensuring no one else smokes around you, would also help. So start going with exercises.

I'm 20 and I get red dots on the skin of different parts of my body like an arm or a leg and my doctor told me it was from poor circulation. She did not say anything else of it, so I'm concerned, is there anyway I can avoid this? Is this dangerous?
