Issues affecting the circulatory system are complex, and it is important for men and women
to learn how to address such issues if they suspect their systems have been compromised.
Three easy ways to
improve circulation
The human body is a complex, effi -
cient machine. One highly important
component of that machine
is the circulatory system, which sends
blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout
the body.
In perfectly healthy bodies, blood,
oxygen, and nutrients circulate
throughout the body without issue.
However, several conditions, including
obesity and diabetes, can contribute to
poor circulation, which is not a standalone
condition but rather a byproduct
of another serious health issue.
According to the health information
site Healthline, when the circulatory
system is not working at optimal
capacity, people may experience
tingling, numbness and throbbing, or
stinging pain in the limbs.
Pain and muscle cramps also may
result from poor circulation, the symptoms
of which vary depending on the
causes.
For example, someone whose circulation
issues are a result of peripheral
artery disease may experience different
symptoms than someone whose
circulation has been compromised by
diabetes.
Because issues affecting the circulatory
system are complex, it’s important
for men and women to learn
how to address such issues if they suspect
their systems have been compromised:
Visit your physician. Poor circulation
results from various health
issues, so people who think they are
dealing with poor circulation should
not try to address the issue on their
own. Rather, the best way to improve
circulation is to visit a physician the
moment you note a symptom.
Doctors will confi rm if patients are
experiencing circulation issues and
diagnose what’s causing those issues.
Doctors also will work with their patients
to devise a course of treatment
for the issue that is causing their poor
circulation.
If necessary, lose weight and
keep it off. Obesity is one of the conditions
that can contribute to poor circulation.
So many people who are diagnosed
with poor circulation may be advised
to lose weight and keep the weight off
once it’s been lost.
A 2009 study published in the International
Journal of Cardiology found
that losing weight helped obese women
improve their circulation. A healthy
diet that includes fi sh like salmon that
is high in omega-3 fatty acids — which
have been shown to improve circulation,
can help people lose weight and
maintain healthy weights going forward.
Consider yoga. A 2014 review of an
assortment of peer-reviewed studies
found that yoga can have a positive impact
on risk factors for cardiovascular
disease. A low-impact exercise, yoga
can compress and decompress veins,
potentially improving circulation. It
takes time to master yoga positions,
but even beginners who cannot fully
perform poses during a yoga regimen
can benefi t from doing the exercises to
the best of their abilities.
Poor circulation is a byproduct of
various conditions. Once a condition
has been diagnosed, patients can help
themselves by taking various steps to
improve their circulation.
