SYMPTOMS OF POOR BLOOD CIRCULATION
Poor circulation can affect any area of the body, but most people who suffer from poor blood circulation complain about having cold or numb hands and feet.
Poor blood circulation can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition for which strict doctor
supervision is needed for proper treatment.
The blood vessels in your toes and fingers are not buried deep in tissue and fat like other vessels in your body. Therefore they get colder easier. When the body starts to lose heat, it pulls warm blood away from the extremities in order to protect the vital core organs.
To improve circulation and warm the feet and hands warm the core, your trunk, wear layers and my personal favorite drink hot liquids. I started drinking Green Tea before going to bed and taking
Green Tea Remedy™
in the moring and I have not suffered from cold feet waking me up in the middle of the night in years.
SUPPLEMENTATION TO IMPROVE POOR CIRCULATION
L-Carnitine
is essential for the heart because of it's ability to assist in breaking down fats which can slow or stop the blood from circulating properly.
Coenzyme Q-10
is backed by extensive clinical studies showing it has
heart supporting abilities. Keep the ehart pumping strong to keep your blood circulating freely.
Magnesium
is need for proper nerve function.
Vitamin
E helps stabilize cell membranes and regulates oxidation reactions
in the body.
HERBAL REMEDIES FOR POOR BLOOD CIRCULATION
Cayenne
will help improve blood circulation in all areas of your body.
Studies have shown that cayenne pepper helps to reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thus reducing your likelihood of developing athersclerosis.
Ginkgo
Biloba can help maintain healthy circulation in the legs, arms and brain. It has been shown to keep blood clots from forming much like aspirin with fewer side effect.
Hawthorn
serves as a peripheral vasodilator dilating the blood vessels out in the arms, head and legs; thereby lowering the blood pressure and reducing the burden placed on the heart.
DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE POOR BLOOD CIRCULATION
Avoid hydronated oil, processed foods, smoking and sugar and reduce your weight if necessary. All of these can impede the circulation of blood by clogging, constricting or totally blocking the veins. Also add
garlic
by supplement or whole cloves to your diet. Garlic can improve heart health and provides support for blood circulation.
DARK CHOCOLATE - Yummy - recent studies have shown that chocolate is rich in flavonoids that boost the production of *nitric oxide in blood vessels. This type of chocolate can also lower blood pressure and improve circulation.
*
The inner lining of blood vessels use
nitric oxide to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thus dilating the artery and increasing blood circulation.
