Many foods and food groups promote better blood circulation, thus preventing the risk of blood clots or thrombosis. We invite you to discover a non-exhaustive list in our slideshow above.
1/14 Blackcurrant
Fresh or dried (out of season), it is recommended to eat 2 tablespoons morning and evening. “This allows for a marked improvement in blood circulation. Blackcurrant reduces the permeability of small blood vessels and tones the veins,” explains Henry Puget, author of The Encyclopedia of Grandmother’s Remedies.
2/14 The pineapple
It contains bromelain, an enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties, which thins the blood and reduces the risk of clots, phlebitis, thrombosis and stroke.
3/14 Foods for better blood circulation
The vitamins E and C present in kiwi promote blood circulation, preventing the formation of clots.
4/14 Broccoli
Rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant, broccoli promotes blood circulation.
5/14 Chocolate
Cocoa contains flavanols, a powerful antioxidant. To reap its benefits, it is recommended to consume one or two squares of dark chocolate per day, the higher the cocoa content possible.
6/14 Garlic
It contains several anticoagulant substances.
7/14 The chili pepper
It dilates blood vessels and improves circulation. However, be careful of
8/14 Salmon
Rich in omega 3, oily fish (including salmon, sardines, mackerel…) promote blood fluidity.
9/14 Hazelnuts
Just like walnuts and almonds, they contain omega 3 fatty acids which have protective properties for blood vessels.
10/14 The strawberry
Like blackcurrants and other red fruits (raspberries, redcurrants, blackberries or blueberries…), strawberries increase the resistance of blood vessels.
11/14 The onion
Like garlic, onion is an allium whose compounds help to thin the blood.
12/14 Citrus fruits
The vitamin C contained in citrus fruits allows for better blood circulation.
13/14 The grape
It contains the same compound beneficial to blood vessels as red berries. As an herbal tea, red vine is unparalleled in its ability to stimulate blood circulation.
14/14 The Apple
Like red fruits and grapes, it is rich in flavonoids.
