Is your circulation killing you? Are you tired of suffering from this without understanding how to improve? Pain, cuts that don't heal, varicose veins that appear without warning, cold and purple feet, legs, swelling at times.

These are signs that your body is asking for help. Don't ignore it! Find out how to take care of your circulation now.

One in 4 adults over the age of 45 has some degree of poor circulation, but many don't even know it until symptoms worsen. Hello, I'm Dr Alexandre Amato and, as a vascular surgeon, I deal with these complaints every day. It scares me that people suffer from simple things that can be resolved at home, often without needing a doctor.

This reminds me of the story of the guy who went to the doctor and said Doctor, every time I lift my arm like that, it hurts a lot. Then the doctor responds, so don't raise your arm like that and shout nearby. The idea is that simple problems should be avoided.

On the one hand, it would not burden the healthcare system, but on the other, it would avoid a trip to the doctor and suffering while waiting. That's the reason our channel exists, to help you and your family solve simple problems and identify serious problems that really need a doctor.

Have you ever felt your legs tired or swollen? Or noticed that small cuts take time to heal? If not, you probably know someone who has been through this.

So do a good deed, share the link to this video with those who need it. These could be signs of circulation problems, a condition that affects millions of people and can greatly impair quality of life. Did you know that these difficulties go beyond physical discomfort?

In today's video, we will discover the main challenges faced by those with circulation problems and what can be done to improve this situation. One of the main symptoms that manifests itself is the feeling of constant tiredness, especially in the legs. This occurs because impaired circulation makes it difficult to transport oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, causing them to tire faster.

For those who work standing up or need to walk long distances, this fatigue can be a major obstacle in their daily lives. Plumbing is essential, but iron-free blood to carry oxygen is also crucial. And I see many anemic people who avoid meat thinking they are being healthy.

I made an entire video about this myth that is spreading. But here I will give some basic tips. Drnk something acidic, like lemonade with a meal that contains iron, to increase absorption.

Avoid drinking coffee during the same meal, as it reduces absorption. Another important thing is to hydrate well. Drnk plenty of water.

Did you know that dehydration can thicken the blood, making it harder for the heart to pump? Drnking water regularly can help prevent circulatory problems. Swelling, especially of the legs and feet, is a common problem.

On the one hand, when you have swelling, the problem is probably not in the arteries, but in the veins and lymphatics. This alone helps a lot to define the problem. This happens when blood or lymph does not return to the heart efficiently, accumulating in the extremities.

This swelling can cause discomfort, pain and even hinder mobility, making simple activities such as walking or climbing stairs difficult. As incredible as it may seem, there are still some dinosaurs suggesting dehydration to improve swelling. The truth is that, again, hydration helps to improve.

Three quick solutions are to elevate your feet above your heart, put on and use compressive elastic stockings and contract your muscles with exercise and movement. Have you tried any of these solutions? Tell me in the comments!

People with circulation problems often find that small cuts or wounds take longer to heal. This is due to the low supply of blood and nutrients necessary for tissue regeneration. This ends up leading to the formation of ulcers, those large wounds that remain open.

In severe cases, this can lead to serious complications such as infections. Any wound or ulcer on the body has a basic rule that everyone must follow without fear. Keep the wound clean.

Don't be afraid to wash. If you keep hearing a lot of opinions out there, you will end up creating a lot of fear. Don't be afraid.

Wash! Wash with shower water and neutral soap. It may not be perfect, but it's much better than letting these bacteria proliferate.

I have a whole video talking about care. A common complaint among those with poor circulation is the constant feeling of cold feet and hands. This occurs because the blood, responsible for transporting heat, does not reach the end of the body properly.

This can be especially uncomfortable during the colder months of the year. A common cause of this is vasoconstriction, when the artery contracts. How does the artery contract?

It has a muscular layer around it. And this layer reacts to stimuli. The stimulus can be cold, stress or medication.

Take away the stimulus for that muscle to contract. If you can't, think about how to relax those muscles. Warm compresses, local heating and, sometimes, even a massage help.

Among the main symptoms of those suffering from poor circulation, the formation of varicose veins stands out . Varicose veins are dilated veins that appear when blood does not circulate well. In addition to affecting appearance, they can cause pain, a feeling of heaviness in the legs and, in more serious cases, varicose ulcers.

This condition is one of the most visible and uncomfortable for those who have circulation problems. How can we improve our quality of life? Practicing physical exercise is essential for health.

However, those who have circulation problems may face challenges maintaining an active routine. The lack of adequate blood flow can cause cramps, pain and even increase the risk of injury, which discourages regular physical activity. We cannot forget the psychological impact of these difficulties.

Living with constant pain, physical limitations and health concerns can lead to stress, anxiety and even depression. It is important that the treatment of circulation problems also includes mental health care. I'm going to tell you a secret.

Did you know that physical exercise is the second best medicine for mental health? What are you currently doing? What exercise gets you out of bed at 6 am on Sundays?

Tell me below. Just 30 minutes of walking a day can significantly reduce your risk of developing circulatory diseases. After finishing this video, open the door and take the dog for a walk.

Do you have a dog? Do you have a cat? I've never seen anyone walking a cat on the street.

But I've seen something that isn't very common. I have a neighbor who has a llama and walks it down the street. A study carried out by the University of Liverpool found that dog owners are 4 times more likely to achieve the daily recommendation of 150 minutes of physical activity than those who do not own dogs.

My new dog is a Belgian Malinois. He's still a puppy. I don't know if you have any idea what this dog is.

I didn't have it when I bought it. It's a police dog. It is considered the most energetic and active there is.

So adopting a puppy can be beneficial for your circulation. I had a sedentary patient who changed her life after adopting one. So use the comments below the video to suggest how and where to find an animal partner for your exercises.

Therefore, listen to the sound of your body. Try to understand the relationship between what is causing your symptom. It may not be a problem with your body, but rather the way it is reacting to an external problem.

You can often figure it out and solve it. You can't imagine the number of patients who arrive at my office and the main problem is something as simple as the lack of water. Dealing with circulation problems can be challenging, but understanding these difficulties is the first step to finding solutions and improving your quality of life.

If you identify with any of the points we discussed today, be sure to consult a healthcare professional. If you're struggling with poor circulation, you don't need to rush to the doctor right away. Before making this decision, I will show you how to improve your health naturally, straight from home.

In the next video I will teach practical and effective methods to treat poor circulation without relying on medication. Something especially useful for those who value prevention and want to avoid bigger problems. Be sure to watch, as ignoring these tips could mean continuing to suffer until you finally need an unnecessary doctor's appointment.
