Every step counts to improve symptoms of Peripheral Artery Disease and slow it's progression. So, if the weather prevents you from taking steps to better health outdoors, head to your local store and walk miles up and down the aisles. A brisk walk helps to dilate your collateral vessels, creating a natural bypass around narrowing in the arteries. Walking should help improve claudication symptoms. If not, talk to your vascular specialist soonest to restore enough blood flow to give you a little pep in your step.
