How to Improve Blood Circulation
Blood circulation problems can reek havoc on your body and your health. So it's vitally important to improve circulation of your blood before any symptoms of poor circulation begin to show up.
And how to improve circulation begins with your heart.
About the size of a fist, your heart is the muscle that powers your circulatory system. It pumps blood through a network of vessels. Your heart and blood vessels are the power and rails for your circulation transportation system. But blood can only travel through vessels clear of debris.
Circulation of the Blood and Lymph
Blood carries oxygen and nutrition to your trillions of cells - wherever the nutrients are needed. It also works a second job, collecting garbage and waste products to carry away for disposal.
Bad habits contributing to circulation problems include smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, overeating and not managing stress. What are the symptoms of poor circulation? The answer's not simple. For example, the first symptom of heart disease, in about 60% of all cases, is death.
The coronary circulation system is a two-part highway. One set of roads, the arteries, leads from the heart of the city out to the suburbs and the other set, the veins, leads back to the heart.
Circulation also refers to circulation of lymph in the body. Your lymphatic system is a major part of your immune system, which helps protect you from viruses, flues and many other diseases. Learning to improve circulation can reduce your risk of suffering from these painful conditions.
Both systems are huge. Your blood vessels alone could wrap around the world twice. And blood circulation is rapid transit – taking only about 45 seconds to make the entire figure-eight circuit.
That is, if everything goes well!
