What Causes Numbness In The Hands And Toes Of The Elderly?

Recently I have been awakening with numbness in my hands. At present my toes feel numb after lounging and reading. This doesn t bother me except my concern about the cause. I am 82 but in excellent health. No other symptoms. No prescriptions of any kind. My main form of transportation is my bike.
