🩸Poor Blood Flow & Circulation Treatments For 2024

"YES, I Want Healthy Blood Flow"

Today’s question is from William and he asks,

“What are the best treatments for improving blood flow and circulation? I don’t want to take drugs, they have too many negatives.”

This is an important question because poor circulation isn’t a “condition” itself. It’s the result of OTHER health issues.

Poor blood flow and circulation are one of the primary causes of a heart attack or stroke.

This is because it can lead to

  • Blood pressure problems
  • Hardening and narrowing of your arteries
  • Cholesterol and plaque build-up

The good news is that this can be reversed and avoided naturally, without prescription medications, crazy diets or strenuous exercise programs.

In order to get the fastest results, we need to first AVOID some common situations that cause poor circulation and then make small lifestyle changes that will dramatically IMPROVE your blood flow.

What To Avoid

[1] If you smoke cigarettes, you must stop.

[2] You need to eliminate or reduce simple carbohydrates and sugars because they increase your blood sugar and insulin levels and that deteriorates the lining of your blood vessels over time.

[3] Have healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

When both of these are high, blood flow is dramatically reduced, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

[4] Avoid long periods of immobility.If you’re sitting behind the computer or desk or sofa all day long, you need to get up and move every hour or so.

[5] Avoid hydrogenated and unhealthy fats.

These are cooked fats and oils, usually found in processed foods, which cause inflammation and thus, reduced blood flow. These include most of the “seed” or “vegetable” oils.

What To Improve

[1] Drink more water because it dilutes your blood and improves circulation. Most of us are dehydrated and don’t drink enough water.


You should drink at least half your body weight in ounces.  So if you weigh 150 lbs, drink 75 oz daily.

Add in some lemon juice for taste. It also helps reduce acidity and inflammation.

[2] You need to move more often.

Any form of daily exercise is great. Lifting weights is the best. Dancing, going in the pool, playing sports, etc. are all great.

And the simplest and easiest is daily walking. The goal is 20-30 minutes of daily working. But even starting with 10-15 minutes, 3x a week is a great start.

[4] If you can afford to get a massage, that would be great.

If you’re in a relationship, maybe you can get your significant other to give you the occasional massage.

[5] Elevating your legs and hanging upside down on an inversion board is also very beneficial.

[6] Finally, there are supplements that contain specific herbs, vitamins, and minerals that are scientifically shown to help promote healthy circulation and blood flow.

Most people start with a supplement because it’s easy, convenient and the results are quick.

Summary

You want to avoid:

  • Smoking
  • Simple carbohydrates and sugars.
