| What to eat for better circulation |
| 🥬 Leafy greens are high in nitrates, which your body converts to nitric oxide. Research has found that people who consume a diet rich in nitrates from foods like lettuce and beets tend to have lower blood pressure. |
| 🫐 Berries have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could support healthy blood flow. Research shows that antioxidants and other compounds in berries can lower blood pressure and heart rate while improving blood vessel health. |
| 🐟 Fatty fish, like salmon and mackerel, are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These fats support better circulation by promoting the release of nitric oxide. |
| 🧅 Onions are a great source of flavonoid antioxidants, which benefit heart health by helping to widen your arteries and veins when blood flow increases. They’re also anti-inflammatory! |
| 🍊 Citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and grapefruit are packed with antioxidants, including flavonoids. Flavonoid-rich citrus can help reduce blood pressure and artery stiffness, improve blood flow, and increase nitric oxide production. |
| 🧄 Garlic contains sulfur compounds, including allicin, which can boost tissue blood flow and reduce blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. |
| Incorporating any of these foods into your diet can improve circulation, but other lifestyle changes may have a larger impact. Want to learn more? Read our full article to find a list of the 13 best foods for blood flow, plus other natural ways to support healthy circulation. |
