Treatment For Poor Circulation

Treatment For Poor Circulation

The best treatment depends on problems and the causes of poor circulation. To treat your condition you may require medication or procedures. Here are a few simple things you can do to increase your blood circulation -

1. Exercise is essential in our life. You should do regular exercises such as walking, yoga, stationary bicycling, and swimming that can help to improve blood circulation.

2. While taking a rest put your feet up because it’s an easy way to send blood in the other direction. When your ankles or feet swell try to keep your legs-up for some time.

3. Compression increases blood flow. Try to wear compression garments, which help to counteract poor circulation in the legs and feet.

4. In cigarettes, nicotine is the active ingredient that thickens your blood so much that it can’t get through vessels. Stop smoking. It improves your blood circulation and decreases the risk of cancer and having a heart attack or stroke.

5. Yoga can start your blood flow. Yoga helps supply oxygen to your cells and blood to your organs. Yoga is essential for us.

6. Try to maintain your diet. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Eat less amount of meat, chicken, and cheese.

7. Maintaining an ideal body weight reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease, poor blood circulation, and arthritis.
