Many people complain about problems with poor circulation. Cold feet and numbness can be some of the symptoms. There can be many causes of poor circulation. Discover natural methods and learn how to improve blood circulation in your feet.

Poor circulation means an insufficient amount of oxygenated blood

Poor circulation occurs when an insufficient amount of oxygenated blood reaches the body; the feet are located furthest from the heart, which is why they are most often cold, regardless of the ambient temperature, at any time of year and in all conditions, even when sleeping under a thick duvet. Poor blood circulation in the legs not only causes pain but also increases the risk of varicose veins or spider veins. Ways to increase blood flow include physical activity, a diet rich in potassium, massages, and wearing socks that increase circulation and oxygenation. Circulatory disorders can contribute to diabetes, being overweight, or heart problems. If you notice circulation problems, consult a doctor to diagnose the cause.

Learn about methods that will help improve and increase blood circulation in your legs and that can help protect you from health problems.

Proper blood circulation increases the body's daily performance. Blood delivers nutrients to all the cells of the body; if circulation is impaired, appropriate action must be taken. Circulation problems affect people of all ages; they can result from health issues, lifestyle, or even just staying in one position all day, which often applies to drivers or office workers. Most often, circulation problems are reported by people over 40, those suffering from diabetes or blood pressure problems, and pregnant women.

How to recognize poor blood circulation in the legs – symptoms

Poor circulation can be recognized in a fairly simple way. Symptoms of poor circulation may include:

• A feeling of heavy legs
• Broken blood vessels, so-called spider veins
• The appearance of red spots on the skin
• Leg cramps
• Dry skin
• Swollen ankles
• Cold feet
• A feeling of tired feet

Discover natural ways for better blood circulation

1. Exercise regularly

Spending a long time in the same position causes weakened blood circulation in the feet. Due to the high number of daily duties, we are left with little time for regular exercise. However, it is worth finding time for movement that will speed up your heartbeat. You do not need to invest in a gym membership right away; here is a list of simple ways:

• Try to change your position every 30 minutes (when sitting, stand up and walk around for a moment)
• When spending a lot of time standing or sitting, increase circulation with compression knee-highs
• If you travel by public transport, try to get off one stop earlier and walk the rest of the way
• Frequently walk in the fresh air; check the local smog levels before going out

2. Choose potassium-rich products

The natural properties of potassium promote better blood circulation. Sources of potassium include: soy, beans, peas, lentils, horseradish, parsley, pistachios, almonds, bananas, and turkey meat.

3. Massage your legs

Systematic leg massage is beneficial not only for the lymphatic system but also improves well-being. It is best to perform the massage during a bath. Systematically massaging your legs will help get rid of water accumulated in the legs.

4. Wear Reflexa circulation-boosting socks

An effective way to increase blood circulation is by walking in medical Reflexa socks. These are the only socks that increase blood circulation. Reflexa socks owe their effect to the innovative Quattroxy yarn, whose performance has been confirmed by clinical studies.

How is it possible that socks can increase blood circulation in the foot?

Bioceramic Quattroxy yarn contains natural mineral microparticles in its fibers that absorb heat and reflect it back to the foot, which stimulates microcirculation. The discovery of Quattroxy yarn is the result of research, technology, and the 30 years of experience of the manufacturer, Intersocks. These are the only socks whose technology for increasing blood circulation in the foot has been confirmed by clinical studies.

Reflexa socks for improving blood circulation in the feet:

• Non-binding thick and thin socks
• Non-binding thick knee-highs
• Compression knee-highs

Reflexa socks are certified medical products that can increase blood circulation and oxygenate cells, which contributes to cell nourishment and regeneration of foot tissues.

If you cannot imagine a night without a pair of warm socks, choose thick Reflexa socks, which are the only ones that can increase circulation in the foot and effectively help you with your ailments.
