Accepted Answer

Nothing: There is nothing special for that.  Just eat healthy.  No ghee. Limit all fats, oils, dairy (including lassi, butter, whole milk).  Eat more vegetables & fruit (with very little to no oil).  Limit salt.  Limit meat intake - the best are fish (not shellfish) & poultry - goat/lamb, beef, pork are fatty.  Eat more unsalted, unfried nuts.  More beans/legumes (dals).  Severely limit sweets & fried food.

Accepted Answer

Nutrition & exercise: There's no secret to healthy nutrition & regular exercise to improve your health, especially heart-wise. Eat lots of brightly or darkly colored fruits & vegetables. Eat whole grains w/fiber. Eat healthy fats like wild caught fatty fish, olive oil, nuts & avocados. Eat lean protein like beans, eggs (whites especially), wild caught fatty fish & chicken. Aerobic exercise is good but so is strength.

No single test: You need a full evaluation with targeted testing to make a determination. There's no single test that can answer this.

Exercise: Aerobic exercise (walking, biking, swimming, rowing, eliptical, dancing, etc) is the best but weight training (anaerobic) also helps.

Risk factors: High blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, family history, high uric acid levels, high triglycerides.

Question 7

how can i improve poor blood circulation?

Accepted Answer

Having cold hands?: Keeping warm, active, don't smoke, and of course a healthy, balanced diet/exercise will help you maintain good health. Since u are 36 and possibley having cold hands/feet? I suspect you may have a vasospastic condition called raynaud's phenomenon. When exposed to cold, this can cause significant symptoms--color changes, pain etc..Keep warm, wear gloves. Consult doc for eval/treatment. Good luck.

Question 8

what do you do for poor blood circulation?

Accepted Answer

Depends on symptoms.: Generally, if there are no symptoms, nothing needs to be done (except smoking cessation and perhaps Aspirin and cholesterol lowering drug).
Most oftent, however, what people call "poor circulation" have nothing to do with circulation.
Most vascular surgeons consider by "circulation" arterial blood flow in large and medium size vessels - something we can fix.

Question 9

can ssri's help fix bad blood circulation?

Accepted Answer

That isn't what they: Are designed for. Make sure you are well assessed by your physician for this. Some acupuncture protocols can help with localized circulation and generalized circulation problems. This can compliment (but would not replace) any treatment prescribed by your physician. Take care.

Question 10
