HEALTH – How To Improve Blood Circulation ( Poor Blood Circulation Treatment )


Our circulatory system supplies our entire body with oxygenated blood. The cells in the body need oxygen to function normally. The circulation of blood also allows for the delivery of nutrients, hormones, and other important factors. If blood floor were to be impeded in any way, it would compromise not only our tissues but our ability to live.

The following are various ways you can maintain your blood circulation, helping improve overall health and well-being.

How to improve blood circulation

Eat super fruits

One such super fruit is the orange. Citrus fruits contain high amounts of vitamin C that helps strengthen capillary walls and also acts as a natural blood thinner, promoting smooth circulation. Goji berries, which look like raisins, are known for improving blood circulation due to their high fiber content. Watermelon is rich in lycopene, which has been linked to improved circulation

Wear proper clothing

Wearing certain types of clothing can help improve blood circulation. Compression stockings are fabricated in a way to help with good circulation by targeting the arch and ankle areas of the foot. Other types of clothing may inhibit blood flow, however, such as extra tight clothing. Wearing skinny jeans, for example, can hinder circulation.

Stay warm in the winter

When we are exposed to colder temperatures, our fingers and toes are the first to get cold. This is because these areas are furthest from our blood circulation, and the cold causes blood vessels to contract, further limiting blood flow. By staying warm, you can help your body keep these parts of your body circulating blood. It is also recommended to keep moving while out in cold weather.

Get enough exercise

Staying active keeps your heart healthy, which is important for your circulation. This doesn’t mean you have to do high impact exercises. Doing something that is modestly strenuous is great for working out the heart muscles. It is recommended to speak with your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.

Quit smoking

This is considered a preventable cause of disease and, according to many studies, smoking can harm the ability of your blood to circulate properly. It can also increase blood pressure, narrow blood vessel diameter, and even make blood stickier, leading to blood clots. Overall, smoking can lead to reduced blood flow to all your extremities.

Get a massage

Getting a massage can help stimulate blood flow in a manner similar to exercise. It helps improve peripheral vascular function after exertion. Massages should be directed toward the heart, as this will promote venous blood and lymph flow. Massaging movements should also be firm but gentle.

Elevate your legs

Helping your circulation fight the effects of gravity will help you relax. Putting your legs up will help take pressure off your leg veins, relieving blood vessel stress. The best way to achieve this is to raise your legs above heart level to promote vein drainage and improve circulation. This may also help with leg swelling. Elevate your legs periodically throughout the day for about 20 minutes at a time.

Drink plenty of water

A large component of the human body is water, so it is very important to stay hydrated. Water makes up a substantial portion of our blood volume, and by drinking adequate amounts of it, you can flush toxins from the system. It is recommended to drink approximately eight glasses of water a day.

Eat nuts

Walnuts and raw almonds have been found to help improve blood flow. Several types of nuts are high in vitamin A, B, C, and E, as well as magnesium and iron. Each of these nutrients helps contribute to better blood circulation.

Reduce caffeine in your diet

While it has been shown that moderate amounts of coffee can improve cardiovascular health, high amounts of caffeine may negatively impact blood circulation. High caffeine content can be found in many things, such as energy drinks, and may lead to a dehydrating effect on your body. Hydration is important for improved blood circulation.

Use herbs

Herbs such as cayenne and ginkgo Biloba have been shown to aid in healthy circulation. They can help stimulate the heart and strengthen capillaries and arteries. Cayenne can even be used externally in creams and infused oils. Ginkgo is well known for its ability to help with memory because of improved blood circulation to the brain. Combining these herbs may provide a complimentary effect.

Green tea

Rich in antioxidants, green tea also helps to improve blood circulation. It is known to help widen the blood vessels in the body. It is recommended to drink two to three cups of green tea a day.

Dark chocolate

This type of chocolate contains a high amount of cocoa, which is known for improving blood flow. Studies have shown that dark chocolate can improve blood flow in the legs by affecting chemicals in the body that help widen arteries. A substance called flavanols found in dark chocolate can stimulate the lining of our arteries as well, leading to nitric oxide (NO) formation. NO helps dilate blood vessels.

Limit salt consumption

Too much salt in the diet can lead to a rise in blood pressure. Salt can also have a negative impact on our circulation, as it can harden the arteries. It is important to keep an eye on prepackaged foods such as canned soups and lunch meats, as they often contain high amounts of salt.

Use hydrotherapy

This is the use of water as a treatment therapy. Hot water from a shower or bath can help improve your body’s circulation. The warmth will help ease tense muscles and help blood flow, helping oxygen travel throughout your vessels. Hydrotherapy can help dilate blood vessels, which improves circulation. Cold water will cause blood to be directed toward the internal organs, while hot water will help direct it outwards. Using a combination of hot and cold can help increase overall blood flow.
