"Do you
have problems with your blood
circulation? Cold hands
and feet? There are some
great herbs and vitamins that
can help improve your
circulation.
In general,
when you increase your
circulation you also increase
the nutrients to that part of
the body and therefore keep
that area more healthy.
That includes your brain!!
Hands and feet are where we
often notice the coldness or
changes in circulation but it
can occur in your brain too.
Gingko
helps increase circulation to
the brain and periphery of our
body. When you increase
circulation to the brain you
help improve memory and other
cognitive functions. It
can also help some men with
erections due to increased
blood flow.
Cayenne
pepper is also great for
circulation. Some people
add it to the water they drink
to help increase their
circulation. Just a
pinch is all you need.
Niacin, not
niacinamide, will increase the
microcirculation in your body
if you take it at a high
enough dose...such that you
get a niacin flush. A niacin
flush is when, after you take
niacin, you get a redness of
the skin that lasts for about
an hour or two and makes you
feel and look like you have a
sunburn. This process also
helps to lower cholesterol in
the liver. Some people use
high dose niacin for
cholesterol lowering effects.
These three
nutrients are some basic
things to help your
circulation."
