Why it matters:
- Strengthens vein walls and prevents ruptures
- Aids wound healing (especially in legs and feet)
- Helps prevent or reduce varicose veins
- Acts as an antioxidant to prevent vascular damage
Top food sources:
- Citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruit)
- Bell peppers (especially red)
- Kiwi, strawberries, and papaya
- Broccoli and Brussels sprouts
3. Vitamin K – The Flow Regulator
Often overlooked, vitamin K — especially K2 — is essential for balancing blood clotting while preventing harmful buildup of calcium in the arteries.
Vitamin K benefits circulation by:
- Supporting proper clotting (not too much, not too little)
- Preventing arterial calcification
- Improving elasticity of blood vessel walls
Types of Vitamin K:
- K1: Found in leafy greens (kale, spinach, parsley)
- K2: Found in fermented foods like natto, aged cheese, egg yolks, and liver
4. Vitamin E – The Vessel Protector
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that safeguards your arteries from oxidative stress — a major contributor to poor circulation.
How it helps:
- Protects artery walls from damage
- Prevents blood clot formation
- Supports nitric oxide production (which widens blood vessels)
- Improves capillary function for better oxygen delivery
Get more vitamin E from:
- Almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds
- Avocados (especially the dark green part near the skin)
- Spinach and broccoli
- Extra virgin olive oil
