With the years, our blood vessels weaken. If you are not physically active much (like most people with office jobs), it additionally accelerates the weakening of blood vessels, and therefore the circulation becomes more difficult (the first thing you notice is that your feet are constantly cold).
However, this does not mean that you have to immediately reach for medications to improve circulation.
It is very helpful if you try to indulge in some physical activity, and there are numerous totally natural resources (most can be found in your own
First and foremost: water
Water -- one of the most useful things you can give to the body. For the blood to be able to normally circulate, it is necessary that you have enough water in your body.
Surely you’ve heard of the saying that blood is thicker than water -- and, for the most part, the blood is water, and if you do not have enough water in your body, the blood pressure gets lowered and circulation becomes difficult.
For normal circulation, it is necessary to consume about a liter and a half of water a day.
Hot pepper (chili)
It is helpful in every form -- dried, minced, fresh … whatever you like. Surely you’ve noticed that tongue tingling, and your cheeks turn red when you eat hot pepper? This is due to the rapid blood flow in the capillaries.
Just beware: if you already have varicose capillaries, the consumption of hot peppers is not a good idea. And if dieting, anything spicy will make you a problem -- spicy makes you hungry.
Do not worry, this does not mean that you have to freeze if dieting, there are other means to improve circulation.
Ginkgo biloba
This item is not exactly common in the kitchen, you can usually find at the pharmacy, in the form of capsules and tablets.
Ginkgo biloba improves blood flow in the capillaries, especially those in the brain, but, inter alia, it is recommended as a means for improving memory.
Wheat germs
You can find them in health food stores and then add them to the cereals you eat for breakfast, or add them to a meal (they give a nice taste when used as a salad dressing or in a sandwich), and you can also buy a bread that contains them.
Wheat germs are a rich source of vitamin E, which strengthens blood vessels.
Horse chestnut
Horse chestnut extracts are used for the production of fats and other products that are useful for the circulation, especially venous.
The aescin ingredient from chestnut relieves inflammation and strengthens the walls of veins.
Garlic
It is a famous natural antibiotic. You can use it in cooking, as much as you want, and it is useful that you mash a clove of garlic very day and eat it with a teaspoon of honey ( its taste is not as repulsive as might be expected).
Garlic is valuable for blood vessels, because it lowers the level of cholesterol and blood pressure, maintains the normal thickness of the blood and prevents blood clots.
Iron
The most effective sources of iron are fish, red meat and green leafy vegetables. Iron increases the number of red blood cells, prevents the appearance of weakness and excessive heat loss.
Be careful: iron medicaments in no way should be taken without consulting a doctor, because too much iron can cause numerous health problems.
Fish oil
You can consume it by eating fish (trout, salmon, sardines, herring …) at least once a week, or in capsules.
Fish oil increases the levels of good cholesterol, the one that removes fatty deposits from the walls of blood vessels, and thus ensures a free flow of blood.
Ginger
It can be used as a spice, and if you want a stronger effect, grate a piece of ginger in the length of an inch and make a strong tea.
Ginger warms the whole body so that it pumps blood to the capillaries in the skin surface.
The essential oil of ginger, cinnamon, rosemary
The oil heats the skin by expanding the capillaries, so a greater amount of blood reaches the skin surface. Its use is not difficult: dilute the oil according to the instructions from the bottle and rub it into the skin when you expect that you will be cold.
