New Year, Improved You! 8 Ways to Improve Your Mobility and Circulation in 2022

The start of the year is the perfect time to think about some lifestyle changes and ways that you can improve your health. Over winter, we tend to spend a lot more time indoors and sitting down, so at this time of year you should try to improve your mobility and circulation.

There are lots of ways to do this, even if you are staying indoors. Here are some of the best ways to boost your circulation and mobility:

 

Avoid sitting for long periods

One of the worst things to do in terms of your mobility is to sit in the same position for long periods of time as your joints will stiffen up. Try to remember to get up and move about every so often, at least every 30 mins. Walk around and do some light stretches to help your blood flow around your body.

 

Make sure you are sat in a way that encourages circulation

Certain sitting positions can limit your blood flow, for example, crossing your legs can prevent blood flowing properly around your lower legs and to your feet. Sitting upright with your legs stretched out is the best way to encourage circulation. Many health experts also recommend elevating your legs to help improve blood flow to the legs, which is why recliner chairs are a good choice.

 

Keep warm

Keeping yourself warm is also important for good circulation, so wearing extra warm clothing or using a blanket when you are sitting down will be very beneficial.

 

Don’t wear clothing that restricts circulation

Tight clothes can restrict your circulation, so if you are sitting down at home you should wear comfortable, loose clothing and make sure you do not have tightly laced shoes or clothing that feels tight.

 

Move about

As well as getting up and walking around at regular intervals, you should also stretch your legs out while you are sitting and do other gentle stretches or exercises to keep your body moving.

 

Eat a healthy, balanced diet

What you eat and drink is also very important for your mobility and circulation, so keeping a healthy diet with lots of fruit and vegetables will help. Drinking lots of water and avoiding processed foods and other foods that are high in fat or salt is better for your mobility.

 

Exercise

If you do not use your muscles regularly, then you can suffer muscle waste. This also happens naturally as you get older, so try to keep exercising to strengthen your muscles.

Walking regularly is one of the best ways to strengthen your muscles, as well as doing exercises like bicep curls with a light object to strengthen your arms.

There are loads of great home workout options available online- like this free workout from The Body Coach that can be done from the comfort of your armchair. 

 

Choose good seating

Having a chair that encourages good circulation and supports the best posture is also essential. Swivel recliner chairs are ideal for offering you comfort and allowing blood to circulate around your body.

  • To me It is very bad what Big pharma are doing, why keep making humans suffer greatly just to get profits annually for medications that don’t work. I’m glad that herbal remedies are gaining so much awareness and many people are getting off medications and activating their entire body system with natural herbal remedies and they have become holistically healed totally, It’s also crucial to learn as much as you can about your diagnosis.

  • I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2014, I had no energy, I also had dizziness and balance issues. I read some studies about VineHealth Center natural MS Herbal Treatment and its effect on Multiple Sclerosis.” I immediately started on the treatment, within a few months I started to notice changes in symptoms. I noticed I had more energy and motivation; the body weakness and balance issues were also gradually disappearing. After I completed the treatment, I am happy to report that my Multiple Sclerosis is well under control. (Go to vinehealthcenter. c om)….
