Flo Jo Circulation

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

You have heart….and Flo!

Circulation (the entire system: heart & vessels) makes my cheeks glow with embarrassment. It makes my wounds heal after an injury. It is evidence of the color of life or death. When compromised it shows quickly and often in devastating ways.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the worlds’ leading killers. Our lifestyles, while sometimes full of positive effort, can be the variable leading to an early death sentence.

Certain diseases can perpetuate this process almost guaranteeing physiological challenges for the rest of the your life. Obesity and Diabetes are challenges which can make cardiovascular disease worse.

Diabetes sludges the blood making challenges for ease of movement of blood. Obesity will thicken peripheral spaces causing a slowing of flow and difficulty reaching critical spaces. With stagnant and thickened blood, opportunity lurks by way of sedimentation causing blockage and lack of oxygen deliverance. On top of these facts, smoking is the nail in the plunging coffin. There becomes a limited amount of oxygen supply even delivered and every organ in the body transitions into total panic mode.
