Fighting poor circulation with an active metabolism

Poor circulation is a common problem that can affect both older and younger people. Some of its symptoms include numbness, tingling in the extremities, cold or swollen hands and feet, fatigue, digestive discomfort, cramps and even difficulty concentrating.

When a person has a slow metabolism, leads a sedentary lifestyle and is overweight, cellular oxygenation may be compromised, which could influence circulation.

🔎 Possible causes of poor circulation

- Excess body fat

Fat accumulation, particularly in the abdominal area, may affect blood flow and be related to inflammatory processes. Some studies have observed that as body weight is reduced, certain markers such as adiponectin tend to increase. This hormone is associated with relaxation of the arteries and metabolic balance.

- Magnesium and potassium deficiency

Magnesium is important for muscle relaxation, including the musculature of the arteries. When there is a deficiency, the vessels can remain contracted. Potassium also plays a key role in helping to regulate fluid balance in the body.

- Dehydration

Not drinking enough water can lead to an increase in vasopressin, a hormone that tends to constrict blood vessels. This can hinder blood flow and contribute to symptoms related to poor circulation.

- Lack of movement

A sedentary lifestyle is one of the most common causes of poor circulation. Lack of physical activity reduces the stimulation needed to maintain healthy blood flow.

Natural habits that may support better circulation

1. Increase magnesium intake.

You can do this through supplements (consulting a health professional first) or through foods such as spinach, Swiss chard and other green vegetables.

2. Apply the 3x1 Diet®

This dietary strategy helps reduce excess fat without starving yourself, which could have a positive effect on circulation.

3. Move every day

Intense exercise is not necessary. Walking 15 to 30 minutes a day, even a little sweat, can activate circulation and help the body eliminate waste.

4. Stay well hydrated

Drinking pure water throughout the day helps prevent blood vessels from constricting and can facilitate the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
