Your body needs good nutrition to perform optimally. That means consuming the appropriate amount of protein, carbohydrates, fats, and water. Eliminating highly refined and processed foods will greatly reduce excess

sodium and sugar which cause constriction of veins and arteries. Also, avoid or eliminate saturated fats and alcohol. A steady diet of these foods can cause poor circulation which leads

to heart disease, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes.

Out with the bad, in with the good. Once you have eliminated junk food and processed foods, replace them with options that remove cholesterol and improve circulation. Chickpeas and oatmeal

contain fiber which binds to cholesterol and transports it out of the body. Ginger and garlic are known to reduce cholesterol and also the likelihood of developing blood clots. Beetroot

juice may also reduce the chance for blood clots while helping to manage blood pressure.

Living a sedentary lifestyle opens the door to a myriad of health problems, including poor circulation. The single best solution is to exercise regularly. Even if you only engage in

brisk walking four or five days per week, you will see great health benefits. Make sure you check with your doctor before you start a new program to choose the

best kind of exercise for your overall health condition.

There are countless reasons why smoking is bad for you. It weakens the heart, increases the risk for heart disease, reduces lung capacity and lung function, reduces the amount of oxygen

delivered to the body, increases blood pressure and clotting, reduces the amount of healthy cholesterol in the body, and more. If you want to improve circulation, leave the cigarettes alone.
