Foods To Boost Blood Flow And Circulation

If you’re a lot like me, you spend time studying which foods, herbs, vitamins, and minerals are the healthiest, how they affect your body, and trying to be mindful of what you consume and drink.

Today, let’s take a quick look at items that can help your circulatory system function better, foods that can contribute to blood flow and circulation.

Garlic, onions, beets, berries, citrus fruits, and leafy greens are just a few of the foods that have been shown to promote heart health and aid with blood flow.

Saturated fats in fatty, processed, or red meats can cause cholesterol buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.

The best foods to aid increase blood circulation and flow are given:

Citrus

Oranges, lemons, and grapefruit are just a few of the citrus fruits that are bursting with antioxidants, including flavonoids. Citrus fruits high in flavonoids may reduce inflammation in your body, boosting blood flow and nitric oxide generation while reducing stiffness. Recent research has also demonstrated that flavonoids can enhance cognitive abilities, lower the risk of stroke, and even aid with varicose veins.

Berries

Berries are another one of my favorites because they are not only delicious but also have health benefits. Berries such as blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, raspberries, strawberries, and currants not only have anti-inflammatory properties, but they also help to lower blood pressure and improve circulation. Berries have also been shown in studies to help lower heart rate and improve arterial dilation.

Onions

Onions are high in flavonoid antioxidants, which benefit heart health and circulation by dilation of the arteries and veins.

Ginger

Another essential to keep in your cupboard is ginger, which not only gives food fantastic flavor but also helps to promote circulation. Used to lower high blood pressure for thousands of years in Indian medicine. A daily intake of 2-4 grams is advised.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a warming spice with numerous health advantages, including enhanced blood flow. According to the study, cinnamon can successfully lower blood pressure in people by dilating their blood vessels. This increases circulation and protects the health of your heart.

Garlic

The health benefits of garlic on the heart and blood flow are well recognized.

According to studies, garlic, notably its sulphur components, which include allicin, can relax your blood vessels to enhance tissue blood flow and lower blood pressure.

Turmeric

Turmeric has various health advantages, one of which is increased blood flow.

In reality, turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine to expand blood arteries and enhance blood circulation for centuries.

According to research, the turmeric ingredient curcumin aids in nitric oxide synthesis, oxidative stress reduction, and inflammation reduction.

Nuts

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), vitamin E, and other beneficial substances found in walnuts, such as L-arginine, encourage the production of nitric oxide.

Nuts, which are rich in magnesium, potassium, calcium, and amino acids, can lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation, both of which are beneficial for people with diabetes.
