Improve Your Circulation From Home

Circulation is essential to your body’s functionality. Good blood flow can ensure that your organs are working as they’re supposed to and that you are functioning at full capacity. It delivers nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood to various parts of your body.  

Poor circulation can occur for a number of reasons, and when it does, it can create significant issues in the body. That’s why it’s important to consult with a specialist for guidance. Vein and vascular specialists can help you improve poor circulation to effectively restore your veins. 

Improve Circulation with Exercise & Diet

• Elevate your legs — One of the things you can do from home to improve the circulation in your legs is to keep your legs elevated. The best kind of elevation for your legs can be achieved by raising your legs at an angle so they’re above your heart. Keeping elevated can help reduce swelling and inflammation and help your blood travel up your legs if they struggled to do so previously. When we keep our legs on the floor all the time or stand for long periods of time, the blood starts to pool in our legs and feet. Elevating can be an effective way to encourage the blood to move back up the legs. 

• Keep extra hydrated — Another great way to improve the circulation in your legs from home is to make sure you’re staying hydrated enough. Over 90% of the blood in your body is made up of water. When dehydrated, that blood can thicken and become harder to transport through the body. However, when you ensure that you’re drinking enough water each day, the blood thins out and becomes easier for your blood vessels to circulate. If you’re not already, make sure to drink lots of fluids for the health of your vascular system!  

• Try yoga and stretching — Regular movement is key to boosting circulation in the legs. Exercise is great for your vascular health, but it doesn’t have to be vigorous exercise. You can improve your circulation even during slower activities like yoga and stretching.
