Seven Everyday Habits That Support Healthy Circulation

The unglamorous basics that do the most for your blood vessels, and how to start each one this week.

Supplements get the headlines, but blood vessel health is built mostly on daily habits. Here are seven worth more than anything in a jar, including Nitric Boost Ultra.

1. Move most days

Aerobic exercise raises blood flow, and that stimulates the endothelium to make more nitric oxide over time. Aim for about 150 minutes of moderate activity a week. Brisk walking counts.

2. Eat nitrate-rich vegetables

Rocket, spinach, lettuce, celery and beetroot are rich in dietary nitrate. One generous portion a day is a solid goal. See how food feeds nitric oxide.

3. Add colourful fruit

Berries, citrus and pomegranate provide antioxidants and polyphenols that help protect nitric oxide from breaking down.

4. Don't smoke

Smoking directly damages the blood vessel lining. Stopping is one of the biggest single improvements you can make.

5. Sleep 7–9 hours

Poor sleep is linked with higher blood pressure and lower energy. Keep a regular schedule and a dark, cool room.

6. Go easy on mouthwash

Strong antibacterial mouthwash used many times a day can reduce the tongue bacteria that turn nitrate into nitrite. Keep brushing and flossing, and ask your dentist what's right for you.

7. Know your numbers

Check your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar regularly. They tell you far more about your circulation than how you feel.

Then, if you choose to, add a daily scoop on top. See blood flow and circulation.
