What to do if blood circulation is not good

Poor blood circulation is a problem that many people have, and poor blood circulation will lead to blood stasis, which will naturally cause various problems in the body. If it is not unblocked in time, it will bring great hidden dangers to future health. If you want to improve blood circulation, there are many ways to choose from, such as lifting the heels, stepping up and down the ladder, taking hot and cold baths, pressing acupoints, soaking feet in hot water, and a reasonable diet.

1. Heel lift

In our daily life, heel lifting is a very simple exercise and can be done anytime and anywhere, such as while waiting for a bus or watching TV. If you persist in doing it for a long time, it can strengthen the muscles of your legs, feet and waist. The specific method is to align your feet and put them together, keep your body upright, then slowly raise your heels until they cannot be raised any further, hold for a few seconds and then slowly lower your heels. If you keep doing this for a long time, it will be very effective.

2. Up and down ladder method

If you are unable to go out for a walk due to weather or other reasons, you can make full use of existing materials at home, such as filling a waste cardboard box with books to make small steps and doing stepping exercises. The specific method is to do it up and down within 2 seconds, and continue for 3 minutes. Rest for a while before continuing, and increase the speed and frequency appropriately according to your health condition. You can also exercise by taking the stairs.

3. Hot and cold bath method

The specific method is to start with a cold water bath, repeatedly alternate between soaking the body in cold and hot water, and finally end with a cold water bath. Hot and cold baths have many functions, the most important of which is to strengthen the function of arteriovenous anastomosis. Repeatedly soaking the body in cold and hot water can stimulate the arteriovenous anastomosis, restore dysfunctional blood vessels to normal, and promote blood circulation throughout the body. After the capillaries and arteriovenous anastomoses stimulate each other, the functions of both can be improved, thereby promoting blood circulation.

4. Press the acupoint method

There are three acupoints in our body. It is recommended that you massage them more often, which can help dredge the meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and keep out the cold and keep warm.

5. Soak your feet in hot water

The water should cover your ankles, and the water temperature should be controlled at around 45 degrees. When your feet start to turn red and hot after about 10 minutes, it proves that the blood circulation is smooth. Women should develop the good habit of soaking their feet every day. It can provide great relief for those with cold hands and feet.

6. Eat a healthy diet

In your daily diet, you can eat black fungus, because it is a good product for replenishing qi and kidneys, softening blood vessels, and it can also absorb waste in the blood to help the body detoxify. If it is winter, you can eat some warm tonic foods such as mutton, dog meat, etc. Warm tonic foods can increase the body's heat, dispel the cold and promote circulation. Of course there are also ginger, onions, tomatoes and corn, which are all good ingredients for promoting blood circulation.
