10 ways to naturally increase circulation.

Introduction

Good circulation involves the adequate movement of bodily fluids between cells. While blood circulation specifically refers to the movement of nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body, good circulation encompasses more than just this. The circulatory system also includes the lymphatic system, along with its movement and drainage functions.

Additionally, good circulation requires an adequate level of heat moving throughout the body. Therefore, circulation is crucial and affects the entire body to varying degrees, as it is related to energy levels, nutrition, thermoregulation, thermogenesis, and the immune system.

Dynamic stretching has become increasingly popular, especially among athletes, due to its ability to improve flexibility, increase body heat and blood flow, and potentially help prevent injuries (Craig Leon, H. Oh, Sharon R. Rana). However, who’s to say that these benefits are limited to athletes or sports? Incorporating dynamic stretches into our daily lives can enhance circulation and reduce chills during winter by increasing heat and blood flow in the body.
