I found an interesting video, where a Spanish doctor, Ana Bellon, speaks of certain foods, which help us to improve our blood circulation. If you want to see the video, please click on the link below:

Ana Bellón (A doctor in TVE): “Then, we are going to try to make the patient lose weight, because the fact that we catch weight makes venous circulation is more difficult; but, now, we are going to focus ... I am going to tell you the botanical name: "Solanum Melongena" ...
Mariló Montero (the Presenter of the program “La mañana”): “I am all morning……Solanum…
Ana Bellón: “Melongena…”
Mariló: “Melongena”
Ana: “And you will say: “What is that?”. Well, but it is…this one: aubergine; but I was telling you the botanical name. There are many studies done on aubergine and, in fact, have been found more than 115 compounds, beneficial to our health, and parts of the plant have been tested; but, really, where there are more compounds is in the fruit, which is really what we eat. Not only we look at its purple colour, that is provided by the Anthocyanins (a major antioxidant there is); but, in addition, it is low in calories, has minerals, has vitamins and generally, it has been shown that is good for the circulation of the legs or, in general, circulation, because also among other things, for example, it lowers cholesterol. But, for example, in spices, we have cinnamon; cinnamon, both branch and ground, has been shown to have properties, for good circulation, because it is antiplatelet, antithrombotic and antisclerotic; ie, it prevents blood clots, prevents the formation of thrombi or even sclerosis, atherosclerosis, within the arteries. And finally, we look at oranges; oranges, really, we could say that, like aubergine, is a star food, for our circulation: first, because they are rich in Vitamin C; Vitamin C facilitates the formation of collagen. Inside the mineral, it is potassium, and potassium helps eliminate fluids. It is rich in fiber and prevents constipation and, if you look at the white part, it is very rich in routine and piperidine (flavonoids, which make our veins become more strong and therefore not dilate). So, between Solanum melongena, Cinnamon and Orange, we have solved it, Mariló.”
Well, I think it is very important to follow those advices, because, at the end, we all suffer the consequences of a poor circulation, for example in our legs. Above all, this happens when our age increases.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
