Do You Suffer from Poor Blood Circulation? Here is How to FIX IT Fast!

May 31, 2016Health & Wellness

The body’s circulation system is responsible for sending blood, oxygen and nutrients through the body. When blood flow to a specific part of the body is reduced, symptoms of poor circulation can arise. Poor blood circulation is most common in the extremities, such as the arms and legs. The most common causes of poor circulation include obesity, diabetes, heart conditions and arterial issues.

Symptoms of poor circulation include tingling, numbness, throbbing or stinging pain in your limbs, pain and muscle cramps. If left untreated, reduced blood flow and plaque in the arteries can result in more serious conditions, such as a stroke or a heart attack. Healthy blood circulation ensures that oxygen and nutrients are being transported throughout the body, and waste is being removed. It’s essential to maintaining a healthy body, balanced pH levels, a stable body temperature and protecting against microbial damage. The good news is: there are natural ways to improve blood flow in your body and keep things running smoothly.

1. Exercise

Exercising regularly will boot your circulation. Choose a physical activity that you enjoy in order to get your blood pumping. Walking, riding a bike, running, swimming or any other exercise will do the trick.

2. Get a Massage

Massage improves circulation by stimulating blood flow in the area that’s being massaged. Parts of the body can become tight, tense and inflamed. By massaging these muscles, you can release toxins in the body and achieve better blood circulation.massage

3. Stretch

Sitting for too long can slow down your body’s circulation. It’s important to stand up and walk around about once every hour to stretch your body, especially if your job requires long hours of sitting. Try arm circles, touching your toes with your hands or going on a short walk.

4. Eat Healthy

Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats are all part of a healthy diet. Foods that are processed, rich in sugar, salt or trans fats can clog arteries. Maintaining a healthy and well-balanced diet can keep things running smoothly and increase the body’s blood flow.shutterstock_127156781

5. Elevate Your Legs

When you’re sitting down, use a pillow or another object to elevate your legs. It will increase circulation and allow you to relax at the same time.

6. Drink Water

It’s important to say hydrated throughout the day to allow your organs to properly perform their daily functions. Drinking enough water causes the oxygen levels in your blood to increase, leading to better circulation.shutterstock_123371674

7. Practice Hydrotherapy

Hot water helps to relax tense muscles while increasing blood circulation and allowing oxygen to flow more smoothly. You can also use a body scrub to stimulate circulation. Inhale the steam from a hot bath or shower to help relieve congestion and open nasal passages for better oxygen flow.

8. Avoid Smoking

Not only can smoking lead to a whole list of health problems, it’s one of the leading causes of circulation problems. If you smoke, there’s no better time to quit than the present.smoking

9. Use Hot and Cold Treatment

Alternating between cold and warm can stimulate blood flow. Apply heat using a hot pack or warm washcloth for about 30 seconds, then switch to cold.

10. Try Ginkgo Biloba

Multiple herbs have been found to improve circulation, and Ginko biloba is one of them. It’s a versatile herb that helps to strengthen memory and improve circulation. It’s available as a liquid extract, a tablet, capsule or a dried leaf.
