SUMMARY
– American Heart Association stated that owning a pet, especially a dog, reduces the risk of heart diseases. Forming a special bond with your pet lowers your heart rate when you are around them and helps you manage your stress. Besides, owning a dog increases your chances of getting outside and walking.
– Compared to other alcohol, wine gives you more benefits because it contains antioxidants and other plant compounds. In fact, it prevents blood platelets from sticking to one another, which highly reduces the risk of blood clots, which are the main reasons for strokes and heart attacks. Don’t get too excited, though, as a moderate approach is a key here: the best amount of daily wine consumption is one drink for women and not more than two a day for men.
– Spicy foods are known to be quite helpful when you’re dealing with poor blood circulation. For example, such products as cayenne pepper and red pepper expand blood vessels and increase the blood flow. They help your cardiovascular system to function better and keep blood pressure normal.
– If you still can’t get rid of this unhealthy habit, here’s a good reason to do it right now. Regular smoking destroys important antioxidants in your system and increases blood pressure. In the long run, smoking affects pretty much every organ in your body, including heart and blood vessels.
– Tight pants or skinny jeans hamper circulation and can facilitate the development of varicose veins. It’s much better to choose lightly fitted or slightly loose garments, which will allow your blood to circulate normally throughout your body.
– Green tea is known to have a great effect on your health and physical state. It prevents cancer, lowers your cholesterol level, helps to lose weight and have a positive effect on the brain activity.
– One of the most important reasons to consume enough foods rich in folic acid is cellular growth and regeneration. Folic acid is engaged in the creation of red blood cells and the prevention of anemia. That means that not having enough folic acid will affect blood clotting. To prevent it, eat more dark leafy greens, such as spinach, turnip greens, and lettuce.
– Putting your feet up above the level of your heart improves your circulation at once as it takes the pressure off the veins and legs. It also helps you relax after a long hard day. This simple movement reduces the stress, swelling, and pressure on your blood vessels and veins.
– A good massage increases local circulation as it stimulates blood flow in the soft tissues. Several studies have shown that massage positively affects your peripheral vascular function. Don’t forget that to have a needed effect it should be done right.
– Doctors recommend drinking about 8 glasses of water everyday. You can simply drink one or two bottles of water every day – it will do the job just as well. Another good variant is to find out the exact amount of water you should consume daily, depending on your age, gender and other important details about your lifestyle.
