As we age, poor circulation can cause cold feet, numbness, tingling, and leg pain. It’s often linked to conditions like diabetes, PAD, or sitting too long.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) helps widen blood vessels, improving blood flow to your legs and feet. It also balances cholesterol and supports blood vessel health. A mild “niacin flush” is common and usually harmless.

Other helpful vitamins include:

• Vitamin E – Prevents clots and supports smooth blood flow.

• Vitamin C – Strengthens blood vessels and reduces inflammation.

• Vitamin D – Low levels can cause stiff arteries and poor circulation.

• Vitamin B12 – Supports red blood cell production and oxygen delivery.

Food Sources:

• B3: Chicken, salmon, peanuts

• E: Almonds, sunflower seeds

• C: Oranges, bell peppers

• D: Fatty fish, eggs, sunlight

• B12: Eggs, dairy, fortified cereals

Tips for Better Circulation:
Stay active, elevate your legs, drink plenty of water, avoid sitting too long, and try compression socks.

Talk to your doctor before starting supplements, especially if you have other health conditions.

Good circulation means more comfort, energy, and mobility — all essential for healthy aging.
