drfarrahmd.com

Blood circulation is considered to be an important body function needed for optimum health. Through this, oxygen, nutrients, and minerals are transferred to different parts of our body. Moreover, it also promotes cell growth and healthier skin, maintains body pH levels, stabilizes body temperature, protects the body from microbial and mechanical harms, and maintain osmotic pressure.

Poor blood circulation can lead to a variety of health problems which can affect the entire body such as the heart, kidneys, brain, liver, and the limbs.

What Are The Causes Of Poor Blood Circulation?

Poor blood circulation can be caused by the following factors:

1. Smoking
2. Blood clots
3. Lack of exercise
4. Sitting in one place for too long
5. Poor eating habits
6. Caffeine
7. Excessive drinking
8. Medical conditions like cholesterol, pregnancy, narrowed or blocked blood vessels, high blood pressure, nerve disorders, diabetes, high thyroid disease, obesity, anemia, and food allergies
   

What Are The Symptoms Of Poor Circulation?

Some of the commonly known symptoms of poor circulation are:

1. Hair loss
2. Cold hands and feet
3. Dizziness
4. Fatigue
5. Numbness or tingling sensation in certain body parts
6. Muscle cramps
7. Pain in the legs
8. Edema
9. Irregular heartbeat
10. Dry skin
    

There are ways wherein you can improve the flow of your blood. Making lifestyle changes, eating healthy foods, and using natural remedies can have a huge impact on your blood circulation.

Easy Ways To Improve Blood Circulation

Massage

A relaxing massage helps the blood moves through the congested areas.

Try warming up some coconut, almond, or olive oil and massage it onto your the legs, hands, ankles, and other parts of the body.

Exercise

Exercise is one of the best ways of promoting good blood circulation.

According to a  2003 review, exercise improves the body's ability to take in and use oxygen and improves the capacity of blood vessels to dilate, which helps them work more efficiently, thereby allowing the muscles to receive oxygen more easily.

You can try simple and mild aerobic exercises, walking, jogging, swimming, biking, trekking, a few times a week. A foot and hand exercise for 15 minutes a day will also help.

Wear The Right Clothing

Wearing skinny jeans and ultra-tight tops can cut-off off your circulation for extended periods of time. This can be dangerous for anyone with circulation issues already.

Wear clothing that is loose enough not to constrict your arteries.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy helps dilate the blood vessels, thereby promoting blood flow.

Enjoy a hot bath, sauna, whirlpool bath or steam bath a few times a week.

Eat More Iron-Rich Foods

Iron deficiency is one of the most common health problems today. This essential mineral is needed by the blood for transporting oxygen throughout the body.

You can increase your body’s level of iron by eating dark leafy greens, whole grains, or lentils.

Coconut Oil

Found in coconut oil are healthy fats and medium-chain triglycerides which helps relieve inflammation of the arteries, thus improving the flow of blood throughout the body.

To enjoy its benefits, try consuming 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin coconut oil daily.

Turmeric

Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric can help improve blood circulation, reduce plaque buildup in the arteries, and prevent blood platelets from forming clots.

You may include turmeric in your cooking. Likewise, you can simply add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and a little honey to a glass of warm milk and then drink it 1 or 2 times daily.

Garlic

Garlic has been found to effectively promote blood circulation, prevent plaque buildup in the arteries, prevent blood platelet aggregation, and lower blood pressure.

You can eat 2 to 3 raw garlic cloves daily on an empty stomach or include it in your daily cooking.

Cayenne

Capsaicin, which is found in cayenne peppers, helps stimulate proper blood flow, reduces symptoms of poor blood circulation, and strengthens the capillaries and arteries.

In a cup of water, mix ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder, 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses, and 2 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar. Drink this mixture twice daily.

Drink Tea

Green tea is packed with antioxidants like flavonoids, polyphenols, and catechins that help relax the arteries and widen the blood vessels in order to improve circulation.

Put a green tea bag in a cup of hot water for 5 minutes. Remove the bag, add honey and drink it.

Ginger

Ginger contains gingerols and zingerone that help improve blood circulation. It also prevents blood clots and reduces the risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis.

You can chew some fresh ginger slices or drink ginger tea.

How To Care For Your Cast Iron Cookware

ruralmom.om

Seasoning Cast Iron Cookware

Preheat oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.

Wash cast iron piece gently with mild soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Using shortening or suet, rub an even light coasting on the inside and outside of pan (and the lid, if applicable.) Wipe of any excess shortening.

Place pan in oven. If you are seasoning the lid, too, place it next to the pan, not attached to. All pieces need to cure separately. Season for 8 hours.

Turn off oven, open door to vent and allow pan to cool off for 1 hour. Remove from oven when cooled, set on bakers rack and allow pan to cool completely. Inspect pan. If you find spots where the pan did not season properly. Repeat seasoning process. Otherwise, the pan will now be seasoned and ready for use.

Cleaning Cast Iron Cookware

After cooking or baking, allow the pan to cool slightly, then use hot water and a cleaning cloth to remove food residue. The trick is to clean the pan without damaging the seasoned surface. If you clean your cast iron pans soon after cooking, while the pan is still warm, food residue will typically glide right off the pan with little effort. When the pan is allowed to sit too long and completely cool, it’s much more difficult to remove residue. Sometimes re-warming the pan helps, but it’s truly best to get in the habit of cleaning your pans while they are still warm.

If you have stubborn stuck-on foods or gristle, a little coarse salt or mild soap may be used. After washing, rinse and dry cast iron pieces thoroughly. Always dry cast iron immediately and do not allow to air dry as it may cause the pan to rust.

Additional Tenants of Cast Iron Care Cookware

DON’T use steel wool, metal scouring pads or pan scrapers. They will rub through the seasoned coating and may scratch the surface of the pan.

DO use a plastic scouring pad if rust appears to gently remove the rust. After the rust is removed, re-season the pan.

DO lightly grease pan after washing and drying, prior to storage.

DON’T ever put cast iron pieces in the dish washer. This will remove the seasoned coating and cause the cast iron to rust.

DO use an oven mitt when handling hot cast iron pieces. Cast iron distributes heat and the handles will get super hot! To avoid burns, always protect your hands.

DO invest in handle mitts for cast iron skillets. Handle mitts are little pockets of oven mitt material or silicone that wrap around the handle of your cast iron skillet making it easy to turn or quickly remove the pan from heat.

DO invest in quality cast iron. There are cheaper knock-offs or poorly made pieces on the market. These pieces may cost less, but they are made of thinner material, may have filler materials and will not deliver as good as a result as quality cast iron pieces. They will also not last as long and may break, particularly in the handle area.
