and addressing symptoms that may signal an underlying vascular problem.
1. Exercise Regularly
Physical activity is one of the best-supported ways to improve cardiovascular health and blood flow.
The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, plus muscle-strengthening activity on at least two days per week.
Good options include:
- Brisk walking
- Cycling
- Swimming
- Dancing
- Jogging
- Climbing stairs
If you have been inactive for a long time, start gradually rather than suddenly doing intense exercise.
