Healthy living for better blood circulation

There are many different ways to improve your blood circulation. Making lifestyle tweaks such as moving more, keeping hydrated, managing your weight, quitting smoking, and eating a healthy diet will each make a real difference. These healthy living steps are great for your all-round health and well-being too.

Why is exercise important to circulation?

One of the best ways to help support your circulatory system is to keep active. Prolonged sitting can lead to a build-up of fatty material in your blood vessels making it hard to circulate blood throughout the body. Research published in the journal Experimental Physiology found that just 10 minutes of sitting can impair leg microvascular function and reduce blood flow(2) – this makes regular use of your Revitive Circulation Booster and daily exercise vital to your leg health.

The Heart Foundation advises that you need to get active daily to reduce your risk of developing heart or circulatory diseases.
