Understanding Your Blood Flow

Discover how your circulatory system works and how to maintain optimal blood circulation for better health.

The Journey of Your Blood

Heart Pumping

The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood through arteries to all parts of your body at about 60-100 beats per minute.

100% essential

Arteries & Veins

Your body has about 60,000 miles of blood vessels. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood while veins return oxygen-poor blood.

75% efficiency

Oxygen Exchange

In capillaries, oxygen and nutrients are delivered to cells while waste products like CO2 are picked up to be removed.

Calculate Your Blood Volume

Improve Your Blood Circulation

Exercise Regularly

Aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily to boost circulation and heart health.

Eat Healthy Fats

Omega-3 fatty acids from fish, nuts, and seeds help maintain healthy blood vessels.

Stay Hydrated

Water makes up about half of your blood volume, so drink plenty of fluids daily.

Avoid Smoking

Smoking damages blood vessels and reduces oxygen in your blood.

Signs of Poor Circulation

  • Cold hands and feet
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Fatigue or dizziness
  • Swelling in feet/ankles
  • Irregular heartbeat

If you experience these symptoms regularly, consult a healthcare professional.
