These suggestions are not intended to replace appropriate professional advice.  Please check labels and consult your pharmacist if you take medication.

A holistic approach to health requires a look at all areas of life.  Make a few changes at a time.  Each positive change is a variable in your body’s favour giving it an opportunity to flourish.

Diet for maximum circulation

• Drink 7-10 glasses of room temperature filtered or spring water.  Chlorine can interfere with thyroid function.
  
  
• Eat a diet consisting or 75-80% alkalizing foods.  Very important.
  
  
• Organic foods are the safest way to nourish yourself - a wise investment!
  
  
• Make fruits, vegetables, raw seeds, nuts, beans, legumes and whole grains mainstays of your diet.  Avoid wheat unless sprouted.
  
  
• Fermented kimchi, sauerkraut have a beneficial effect on vessels.

• Combine foods for optimum digestion: fruits on an empty stomach 30 minutes before other foods. Starches and animal products require very different gastric secretions and should not be eaten at the same meal.

• Beets, pomegranates, and their juices increase blood flow.
  
  
• Have 1-2 tsp apple cider vinegar and ½ tsp raw honey (opt) in water with meals to boost thermogenesis, improve digestion, and correct pH.

• Ginger, cayenne, cinnamon, celery seed, cloves, and garlic improve circulation.

• Replace salt with Herbamare for all the flavour and 1/3 the sodium.  It contain kelp to naturally stimulate thyroid function.
  
  
• Avoid heavy protein after lunch for improved digestion of amino acids.

Basic Supplements - To Cover Common Deficiencies

• Vitamin C – anti-inflammatory, improves circulation.
  
  
• Vitamin D - 8,000 IU for one month then reduce to the upper limit of 4,000 IU – a deficiency is associated with thyroid and circulatory functions. 
  
  
• Magnesium – has a relaxing effect on blood vessels.  Supports circulation.
  
  
• Omega 3 fatty acids – necessary for proper circulation.
  
  
• Probiotics – intermittent use to correct pH and enhance microbiome.
