The circulatory system is responsible for carrying blood to all the cells of the body to provide them with nutrients and take away the metabolic waste eliminated by the organs in the body.
Bad circulation causes problems which are not initially serious, but which can become so if are not adequately treated.
How to improve blood Flow:
- Eat well. Food that contains potassium help the body to eliminate fluid. Among these are dried fruits, whole cereals, fish, meat, and bananas. Other classes of food are the antioxidants, which protect the walls of the arteries and veins, for example, raspberries, carrots, citrus fruits, grapes, spinach, and tomatoes. Also recommended are foods that contain fibre, such as wheat bran, vegetables, and fruits, especially plums and raisins.
- Physical activity is highly recommended for people with circulatory problems because exercise keeps the legs moving and boosts blood Flow. Dance, walk, run, cycle or swim. It Will make a difference and you will notice the changes.
- Finish your shower with a blast of cold water to speed up the blood Flow.
- Avoid crossing your legs when sitting, because the pressure exerted by one leg on the other is harmful, hindering natural blood Flow and encouraging the new appearance of further varicose veins.
We recommend you see your family doctor every year to prevent any problems you may have with poor blood circulation.
