Unpleasant symptoms like pain, muscle cramps and numbness, digestive issues, and cold hands or feet can be caused by poor management of blood vessels.
Athletes and other active people may also benefit from increased blood flow in order to improve their performance and recovery after workouts. When it comes to treating circulatory issues, medication is often used.
In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some foods you should eat regularly to cleanse your blood vessels.
1. Pepper
When it comes to hot peppers, the spicy flavor comes from the phytochemical capsaicin, which lowers blood pressure and increases the release of nitric oxide and other vasodilators.
Vasodilators relax the tiny muscles in blood vessel walls, allowing blood to flow more freely through veins and arteries. Increased circulation, improved blood vessel strength, and reduced plaque buildup in the arteries have also been shown to be benefits of the supplement.
2. Pomegranate
Polyphenol antioxidants and vasodilator nitrates abound in the sweet, juicy pomegranate. If you’re an active person, pomegranate juice or raw fruit may help improve blood flow and oxygenation to muscle tissue.
3. Onion
Antioxidants in onions help keep the cardiovascular system healthy, as well as improve blood flow by expanding arteries and veins in response to increased blood flow.
Aside from boosting blood flow, onions have anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammation in the veins and arteries, which can improve cardiovascular health.
4. Garlic
In the medical community, garlic is known for its ability to improve circulation and cardiovascular health. Garlic contains sulfur compounds, including allicin, which have been shown in studies to increase blood flow in tissues and lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.
5. Oily fish
Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fatty fish mackerel and salmon.
Nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow, is enhanced by these fats, making them extremely beneficial to the circulatory system. A blood clot can form as a result of platelet clumping in the blood, which omega-3 fats help prevent.
