In today's video, I want to talk about a topic that is often overlooked. The importance of vitamins for your blood circulation. Did you know that many people, especially those with diabetes or insulin resistance, suffer from circulation problems without even realizing it? Thankfully, there are some simple habits we can adopt to keep our blood flowing smoothly. While it is always best to get our vitamins from the food, no doubt, sometimes our diets may not provide us with enough vitamins. These cases, over-the-counter supplements can be incredibly helpful. So without further ado, let's dive into the top vitamins you should be incorporating into your diet to improve your circulation. Now, if you are feeling sluggish lately, maybe it is time to give your B vitamins a boost. You might not have realized, but these little guys are essential for your circulation. How? Riboflavin or cobalamin are like the dynamic duo of red blood cell production, and we all know that the red blood cells are the superheroes of oxygen transportation. So if you are feeling a bit winded after walking up a flight of stairs, then it might be worth really checking if you are getting enough B-complex vitamins in your diet. If you are on metformin, metformin will also deplete your B12 levels. Now lucky for you, some of the best sources of B vitamins are also the most delicious. Think about steak, brown rice, broccoli. If you are going to splurge onto a juicy steak, why not make it some grass-fed one too? I always tell you, if you are eating steak, stick with the grass-fed. Is it expensive? Well, then don't eat it too often. That way, you can improve your circulation while satisfying your taste buds. Now, just don't forget to add a drizzle of olive oil on top of that steak for some good measure. It will even help you more. Then you will have cheers to better circulation and great tasting food. Potassium next, known as the mineral that is super important that a lot of people don't realize. Potassium is one of the silent heroes for our bodies. Not only it does help with the circulation, but it also keeps those pesky bulging veins at bay. Now let me tell you, there is nothing worse than bulging veins cramping your style. Now lucky for us, there are tons of tasty foods that are rich in potassium, like bananas, especially green bananas, right? You don't want to go like the super ripe bananas. Avocados, great option. The next time you're out and about, grab a banana for the road and order some extra guy for your burrito, but trust me, your body will thank you for that and your veins will thank you for that. Now, a word of advice, like I said, greener bananas is always the way to go. It will give you some favorable numbers for your blushers or you can experience the opposite with a very ripe banana. Nobody wants that kind of drama in their life, right? So vitamin C, let's talk about the vitamin C. There's a lot of vitamin C lovers out there. You know, this is a superhero nutrient when it comes to fighting off colds, that's great, but that's also, it's pretty handy when it comes to healing your vein membranes and fortifying those walls. So if you are looking to keep your circulatory system running smoothly, don't skimp on the citrus. There are kiwi, for example, strawberry, Brussels sprouts, whatever you like, right? They all have that great vitamin. Now let's not forget about our diabetic friends out there. So you're mostly diabetic, but some of you are not. If you're using a Dexcom or Libre, you know, not everybody does, but if you do use those, too much, you know, the vitamin C over 500 milligrams may cause some seriously wonky glucose numbers. So that is also a warning in there that you need to pay attention. So go for it, go for the vitamin C, just be careful about not exceeding 500 milligrams per day if you are using Dexcom or Libre. Now next on the list is vitamin E. It's not just good for moisturizing your skin, but it's also got some serious skills when it comes to your blood platelets. So this little vitamin can prevent those pesky little guys from sticking together and forming blood clots. And the best part? You can find this, you can find this power-packed nutrient in some seriously delicious snacks. We are talking about almonds, sunflower seeds, and even mangoes. And if you are feeling like fish for dinner, salmon and trout are also great sources of vitamin E. So next time you're snacking, remember that you are not only satisfying hunger cravings, you are also helping out your blood flow. Talk about multitasking, right? Let's talk about the power of some amazing foods for your cardiovascular health that you can get all those vitamins. Now number one on my list is berries. You better indulge in these things sometimes, right? They're vibrant, they have blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, they're all good, you can reap the benefits from these, they're packed with antioxidants. They improve these berries, improve the circulation, reduce the inflammation, and help keep your arteries wide open. Now beets, not only are they delicious, but they are also going to work wonders for your blood vessels. Now beets have some carbs, you have to be careful, but they also contain nitrates that can expand your arteries and reduce the inflammation, leading to increased oxygen flow and lower blood pressure, which is very important for diabetics. Now we discussed about fatty fish, which has a lot of omega-3 fatty acids. In this, there's also a game changer for cardiovascular health, especially with vitamin E. Now they also stimulate nitric oxide production, and these healthy fats will open up your blood vessels by increasing your HDL, which is an anti-LDL, to prevent blood clots, and also the omega-3 will lower your blood pressure too. The nuts, the next one is pretty crunchy, nutritious, like walnuts more than any other snack, right? They're packed with vitamin E, potassium, they reduce the inflammation, they lower the blood pressure, and they serve as a healthier alternative to what? Chips, right? Stop eating chips. Eat walnuts instead. Now, onions, if you don't hate onions, I hope you don't, but you can enjoy them in salads, soups, stews, anything you cook with, use onions, you know, thanks to their flavonoid antioxidants, onions can dilate your arteries and veins, and promoting enhanced circulation and reducing inflammation. And of course, we cannot forget about the citrus, right? Citrus tangy and refreshing oranges, especially lemons, are more than just citrusy delight, they're loaded with flavonoids again, antioxidants, they can decrease the inflammation, promote healthier blood flow, and even assist with varicose veins, which are so unsightly.
