Poor blood circulation can cause all sorts of very serious health issues, such as diabetes, heart disease, macular degeneration, tinnitus and even dementia. Fortunately it is possible to treat poor blood circulation with a few simple vitamins.
Instructions
1. Increase consumption of vitamin B1, also known as thiamine. Thiamine promotes healthy blood formation and circulation, among other things. If you plan to get your vitamin B1 from a supplement, the normal dose is around 50 mg per day. Foods with high amounts of vitamin B1 include meat, seafood, peanuts, whole wheat bran, egg yolks and sunflower seeds.
2. Consume more vitamin B3, also known as niacin. Niacin dilutes blood vessels and brain capillaries, lowers blood cholesterol and helps the body produce heat. A normal vitamin B3 dose is around 20 mg per day. Foods high in vitamin B3 include meat, eggs, peanuts, legumes, fish and milk.
3. Eat more foods containing vitamin C and bioflavonoids. Vitamin C drastically improves the body's endothelial cell structure, strengthens capillary walls and generally helps make cells stronger and more stable. Try taking at least 100 mg per day. Oranges, broccoli, tomatoes, papayas, mangoes, potatoes, and red, yellow and orange peppers are all high in vitamin C.
4. Take in more vitamin E. Vitamin E helps the body circulate blood through the arms and legs, and encourages healthy blood circulation within the blood vessels. Vitamin E also assists in both the healthy formation and destruction of blood clots within the body. Take at least 20 IU vitamin E daily. Pumpkin seeds are a great source of natural vitamin E.
