Fire Up Your Circulation and Feel Great
November 18, 2019
Did you know that if you were to lay out all of your veins, arteries and capillaries, they would stretch about 60,000 miles? It’s true! As a point of comparison, the circumference of the Earth is about 25,000 miles, so your circulatory system could wrap around it 2 ½ times.
When you think about it, your circulatory system controls your entire body – and is often felt in your extremities like your feet. If your “super highway” becomes blocked or narrows, traffic can back up or even grind to a halt affecting every part of your body, especially your feet.
This means your muscles and organs, including your heart and brain aren’t receiving all the nutrients and oxygen they need to function properly…and, your extremities – hands, feet, legs & arms – won’t be receiving enough blood either. This can all lead to a host of health concerns.
Why is the Circulatory System so Important?
Once blood leaves your heart, it doesn’t just splash around your body. It moves through your arteries, which carry blood away from your heart, and veins, which carry blood back to your heart. This all happens very quickly.
It takes less than 60 seconds to pump blood to every cell in your body. Your body needs a steady supply of blood and healthy, clear veins, arteries and capillaries to keep all your body parts working right.
The Problem
Did you know 1 in 4 Americans age 45+ have foot pain? It’s time to take a step in the right direction.
Hidden cause of foot problems…circulation
Blood flow to the feet diminishes with age, making foot problems worse. For example, less blood flow to a tendon could lead to tendon pain. Poor circulation can also cause “pins and needles” feeling, numbness, throbbing, dry skin and even lead to open wounds.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues and they’re not going away, it’s best to err on the side of caution and see your doctor or foot specialist for a proper diagnosis. He/she can determine the best approach for improving circulation and treatment for your feet.
Top Triggers for Poor Circulation in the Feet (and elsewhere)
Smoking. Besides causing respiratory issues, smoking is a major cause of vascular problems, especially in the peripheral parts of the body like the legs and feet. Sensation and circulation decreases leading to serious consequences.
Blood Pressure Issues. High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood flow against artery walls is too high. Over time, arteries throughout your body become damaged, causing poor circulation.
Poor Nutrition. Consuming too much processed, sugary or fatty foods leads to a host of problems including obesity and plaque buildup in the arteries. Eating healthier, nutritious foods will help smooth blood flow.
Sedentary Lifestyle. You may have heard sitting is the new smoking. It’s bad for your health and especially for your circulation. Sitting for long periods, especially in an uncomfortable position or with legs crossed can restrict blood flow. Moving around every hour or so, or better yet, getting daily exercise will help circulation.
Blood Sugar Issues. Damage to arteries in the legs and feet are common side effects of blood sugar issues.
Heart Issues. When arteries become blocked by fatty cholesterol deposits, it causes them to narrow, which restricts blood flow throughout the body.
Obesity. Obesity causes the heart to work harder and leads to circulatory problems.
The Solution
- Move it – Sitting weakens your glute muscles – and foot function requires strong glutes, hips and abs. Exercises like hip bridges strengthen tummy and hips and also help you practice getting up and down from the floor.
- Fill Up On Omegas – Since inflammation can play a role in foot pain, fight back with the anti-inflammatory effect of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Reach for nuts, seeds, legumes, vegetables, fruits, olive oil and fish.
- Stretch it Out – Roll your ankles, lift your heels, wiggle and stretch your toes and lengthen your hamstrings and calves.
- Massage – Have a professional massage your feet or do it yourself. Sit comfortably, apply lotion and gently rub feet, toes, heels & legs. You may want to consider a foot massaging device.
