5 Vitamins To BOOST CIRCULATION (Legs & Feet)

The Top 5 Vitamins to boost  circulation to the legs and feet. It’s very important for blood to  circulate properly through your body, especially to your legs and feet, which are  the furthest point away from your heart. Poor circulation in the legs/feet  can lead to range of health problems Risks of Poor Circulation Swollen Feet (Edema) Such as painful swollen feet and ankles (edema), Blood Clots (DVT) The formation Dangerous blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) Nerve Pain (Neuropathy) And nerve damage can occur causing tingling, burning and pain  especially in the feet (neuropathy) (amongst many other issues) Although there are many different  causes of poor circulation Such as standing or sitting for too long Damage in the blood vessels  because of high blood sugars Or even heart conditions There are natural ways to improve  blood flow to minimise the risks And also to keep oxygen and nutrients  flowing to your muscles, tissues and bones.

Today we will explore 5 of the most  effective vitamins and nutritional supplements that you can use  to boost flow and circulation. Just a quick reminder this video  is for educational purposes only, so do speak to your doctor if  you have any medical concerns. 1.

Nattokinase (Enzyme) One of the best natural remedies to improve blood flow to the legs and feet is  an enzyme called Nattokinase. You can take 100mg of Nattokinase  (2,000FU's) daily in a capsule if you wish. Nattokinase is an enzyme produced by  bacteria when fermenting soy beans, And this has been shown to help break down  fibrous tissue in your arteries and blood vessels To improve the circulation of  blood from your heart to your feet.

This powerful fibrinolytic enzyme  helps to thin out your blood, And also dissolve blood clots, reducing  the risk of deep vein thrombosis And helping to improve venous  circulation to prevent varicose veins. Be sure to speak with your doctor first if you  are already taking blood thinning medication. 2.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) People often have poor circulation in their legs  as a result of plaque forming inside the arteries, Which makes the arteries very stiff and  rigid, where they should be flexible And this blocks the normal flow of blood, leading to problems like swelling,  aching and deep vein thrombosis. It also puts you at a higher risk of tissue  death, heart attacks, blood clots and strokes. Vitamin B3 however (niacin) is one of the cheapest natural remedies that you can  use to improve circulation, As it vasodilates the blood vessels,  opening them up within mere hours, helping blood to flow directly  through the legs to the feet.

You can take 500mg of sustained release  niacin (not niacinamide) 1-3x per day. You will feel a flushing sensation in your face,  neck and chest within 2 hours within taking it This is a sign that the vitamin is  working and promoting proper blood flow. Niacin also prevents LDL cholesterol from the sticking to the artery  walls and making them stiffer.

Many people have fluid retention in their feet as a result of eating too many refined  foods, too much caffeine or smoking. Each of these can deplete Vitamin B1 levels  causing swelling and blood sugar problems. So try to improve your  lifestyle by cutting these out, And start eating 2-3 tablespoons  of nutritional yeast each day, as this is a fantastic source  of the all of the B-Vitamins, Especially B1 which can help to replenish your body and reverse any nerve  damage in your feet or legs.

Phytonutrients Phytonutrients are natural chemicals made by plants which often act as a natural  medicine when humans consume them.

It’s recommended to start eating more of the following 4 foods on a daily  basis to improve blood flow. Phytonutrients Garlic (Allicin) Start eating more fresh garlic which contains allicin,  a compound that thins the blood, prevents stiffness in the artery walls  and reduces the risk of blood clots. Beets (Nitrate) Beets contain nitrates which are converted into nitric oxide.

The works like a gas, opening  up the blood vessels to increase circulation. Celery (Phthalides) Celery contains phthalides also relax the blood vessels, help to lower blood pressure  and improve circulation to and from the heart. Avocados (Avocatin B) And avocados contain avocatin B, potassium, magnesium and  monounsaturated fats which all help to reduce inflammation and heal your  blood vessels from existing damage.

Before I move on to the next section, I just wanted to quickly say that I'm now  posting videos on TikTok as well as Facebook. I'd be so grateful if you could  follow me on those platforms too, and you'll find links below the video  or in the description thank you. 4.

Horse Chestnut (Aescin) Some of the main symptoms of poor  circulation is the development of twisted, bulging, blue varicose veins on the legs. Along with pain and a sense of heaviness when  moving the legs, especially after sitting down. These issues can happen when the  walls of the veins that carry blood from your feet to your heart  become weak, and lose their tone.

Horse Chestnuts contain a powerful  phytonutrient called aescin, Which studies show is as effective as  compression stockings for improving circulation. You can take 300mg of standardized horse chestnut extract on a daily basis to  support the veins directly, By helping to improve problems  like chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis. In addition, this herbal has also  been shown to help reduce swelling in the legs by preventing the capillaries  from leaking into surrounding tissues.

There also other herbal remedies which can be  taken in a supplement such as butchers broom, grape seed extract and maritime pine bark. I'll add put a link in the video description of  a product which contains all of these herbals, and you can do your own research to learn  more about each ingredient if you wish. 5.

Vitamin C (Complex) In order for your blood to flow freely through the network of vessels  in your body, certain nutrients are necessary. The natural Vitamin C complex that comes from raw fruits and raw vegetables is  very helpful to this effect. I recommend supplementing your diet  by mixing 1 tablespoon of camu powder, or acerola cherry powder into daily smoothie, Or simply in a glass of water.

These are some of the richest natural sources  of the REAL Vitamin C complex on the planet, Which work to boost collagen that is  needed for smooth, flexible blood vessels, And also to prevent free radicals from  damaging your blood vessels further Furthermore, Real Vitamin C  (not ascorbic acid tablets), also boosts your immune system  against harmful infections And is also excellent for increasing  collagen in your skin and joints. Other Ways To Boost Circulation In addition to using the foods and  nutrients that we have discussed so far, there are also other simple ways  that you can boost your circulation. 1.

Use compression stockings to  apply gentle pressure to your feet and legs. This helps to enhance blood flow, especially the veins on the surface of the  skin to move it back towards your heart. 2.

Quit smoking if you want to reverse existing  damage to your blood vessels. Cigarette smoke depletes antioxidants, leaving your arteries  and veins open to damage from free radicals. 3.

Elevate your legs above your heart  4x per day for 15 minutes each session. This reduces pain and swelling in the  legs, helping to improve circulation. 4.

If you are overweight, pregnant,  using birth control pills or HRT, these can raise your estrogen which weakens  the valves and walls of your blood vessels. Drnk more water and support your  liver in filtering out this excess estrogen by eating more cruciferous  vegetables in a salad each day. 5.

Wear loose fitting clothing  around your upper legs, waist or groin and avoid tight belts.  These can make circulation worse. 6.

Limit your consumption of processed  carbohydrates and hydrogenated oils, such as breads, pasta, flour,  sugar, grains and fast food. Cook healthy meals at home using single  ingredient foods, and eat healthy sources of fat from wild salmon, pasture raised eggs,  extra virgin olive oil, and grass fed butter To support the tone and structure of  your heart and blood vessels as a whole. If you are inactive, you should also  aim to get more exercise as this will help your heart to pump more blood  through the arteries to your feet.

And last is a point that you must not ignore. If you suffer from chronic stress, or sleeping  difficulties this will raise your cortisol, and slowly slowly damage your blood vessels. Overcome stress by performing box breathing  4-4-4-4.

breathe in to a count of 4, hold for 4, breathe out for  4 and hold for 4. Repeat. This will calm down your nervous system, improve oxygenation of your cells  and normalise your blood pressure.
