Simple Ways to Improve Circulation

Simple movement goes a long way. Short walks, gentle leg stretches, or even rotating your ankles while seated can help keep blood flowing.

Tip: Set a reminder to move every 60 minutes. Even a 5-minute walk can noticeably improve circulation.
2. Elevate Your Legs Each Day

Elevating your legs above heart level allows gravity to help blood return toward the heart. Doing this for 15–20 minutes daily can reduce swelling, pressure, and leg fatigue.

Try this: Lie on a bed or sofa and rest your legs against a wall or on a few pillows for comfortable elevation.
3. Use Compression Socks for Support

Compression socks and stockings gently squeeze the legs, helping veins move blood upward more efficiently. They’re especially helpful if you stand or sit for long hours or already notice vein discomfort.
