There are several steps you can take to improve circulation, but three of the more important ones are: -Get more cardiovascular exercise. Jogging, walking or cycling can help boost circulation.  Stretching before and after also has the same effect. -If you smoke, quit. Smoking inhibits blood flow, destroys blood vessel walls, and causes plaque to accumulate in the veins. -Drink tea. The antioxidants in black and green tea help to increase the width of the blood vessels so that the body is able to pump blood more efficiently.
