We’re pleased to spread the word about our esteemed colleague, Professor Francesco Del Galdo’s insightful feature in The Independent on how to deal effectively with circulatory issues.
Blood circulation problems affect millions worldwide, causing discomfort and sometimes leading to serious health conditions. From cold hands and feet to more complex cardiovascular concerns, poor circulation can significantly impact daily life. While medical interventions remain crucial, many individuals are also exploring natural methods to enhance their circulatory health.
As part of raising consciousness of Raynauld’s Awareness month Professor Del Galdo, a leading professor of rheumatology, shared insights into why circulation problems intensify during the winter months and offered natural approaches to improving blood flow.
For the article he highlighted 8 methods to deal with amplified circulation issues during winter, he recommends natural options that could potentially enhance blood flow and improve your circulation and discussed the impact of Raynaud’s disease.
““When our bodies are exposed to the cold, a normal response is for the blood vessels to become narrower,” explains Del Galdo.
“[Raynauld’s] will sometimes cause a noticeable colour change to the affected areas, with the skin turning white, then blue and finally to red as the circulation returns. This is known as a Raynaud’s attack,” says Del Galdo.
“Raynaud’s is usually triggered by cold temperatures, anxiety or stress. The condition occurs because blood vessels go into a temporary spasm, which blocks the flow of blood. Even the smallest drop in temperature can trigger painful attacks where the blood temporarily stops flowing to the extremities, affecting fine motor skills and making it difficult to carry out even the simplest everyday tasks.” says Professor Del Galdo.
