Circulation is one of the most vital processes inside your body. It’s how your blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to your cells, which keeps your body functioning and healthy. Poor circulation can lead to many health issues, but fortunately, you can make a few changes to your daily life to help prevent these issues. We explore four ways to improve your circulation and overall health.
Diet
Like all health issues, maintaining a healthy diet can hugely benefit you. Many foods naturally improve your cardiovascular health, which is key to good circulation. Fish that contain omega-3 and tea rich in antioxidants, for example, promote cardiovascular health. Foods that help keep up your iron levels are also vital for circulation.
Compression
There are many benefits to wearing compression gear, and circulation is at the top of the list. Garments such as compression socks apply pressure to your body and help keep blood running through your veins. Compression garments can also help prevent blood clots, swelling, and other problems related to poor circulation.
Exercise
Staying active is a great solution for many health issues; one of the best ways to improve your circulation is to get your blood pumping. Jogging, swimming, and other aerobic exercises help strengthen your heart and lower your blood pressure. Not only will you improve your circulation, but your overall health will benefit as well.
Yoga
Apart from cardio and aerobic exercise, yoga also can help improve your circulatory system. By stretching, bending, and twisting, you can get your blood flowing throughout your body. Yoga also allows you to focus on your breathing and work through daily stress, which both improve circulation. Even if yoga isn’t for you, you can make sure your blood moves throughout the day in other ways. Set time aside for some basic stretches, go on walks, and try not to sit or stand still for long periods of time.
