 Improve Your Circulation With These Superfoods

Circulation can become a huge issue as you get older and during natural life 
occurrences like pregnancy. Unfortunately, some of the medications that are used to 
aide in circulation may have side effects that you do not want to experience. If this is the 
case, you may be looking to a superfood option instead. Here are a few of the 
superfoods that can help increase circulation in your body and get you through some of 
the issues you are experiencing.

Watermelon

Watermelon, in pure form or juice form, can help greatly with circulation. This is due to 
the fruit being rich in lycopene. This particular naturally occurring pigment actually does 
more than color foods red. It also helps with blood circulation by thinning it slightly and 
allowing it to move through the veins at a normal rate. You can eat watermelon on a 
daily basis or you can choose to drink watermelon in juice form. If you choose the juice 
method, make sure that you are using organic juice if it is store bought or that you are 
juicing yourself to get the most benefit out of the watermelon into your body in the 
easiest way possible. 

Black Cherry Juice

Black cherry juice is known for helping with inflammation and pain. It is also known to 
help blood circulation. This is due to the reduction of inflammation that black cherry juice 
can bring to the body. In essence, black cherries have anti-inflammatory properties that 
help reduce the inflammation throughout the body and help circulation through the 
reduced swelling. 

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil seems to be the cure all for many people. It helps with skin, teeth whitening, 
weight loss, and so much more. Well, you can add circulation to the list. The fats in 
coconut oil alongside of other benefits such as triglycerides can help reduce 
inflammation specifically in blood vessels. This helps open the blood vessels to better 
circulation and helps with your overall circulation throughout the body. You can take 
coconut oil in capsule form, liquid form, and up to three times a day. If you are taking 
coconut oil daily, take it in two tablespoon doses. 

The superfoods can be taken in powder form and added to juice, tea, or natural juicing 
methods. They can also be taken in capsule form or organically directly from the food. 
You will need to consult a doctor if you are on heart medication or blood thinners that 
may have an unstable interaction with some superfoods.
