One of the unfortunate drawbacks of aging includes the appearance of distended, unsightly veins, which are caused by dilated blood vessels.

Research indicates that if blood flow to your brain decreases, you could develop Alzheimer’s disease—the most prevalent, but incurable form of dementia. Robert Vassar, M.D., and colleagues at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine studied human and mice brains and found that a reduction in blood flow to the brain caused energy deprivation. When this happens, proteins clump in the blood and could cause the development of Alzheimer’s.
Medical research has identified a source of omega-3 fatty acids that’s been shown to be superior to fish oil supplements in head-to-head testing. It’s found to be healthier, safer, more potent and more absorbable. It’s called krill oil. Krill is a shrimp-like crustacean that’s found in the deep waters of the ocean.

Adding antioxidants to one’s diet may lead to improved artery health and a lower risk of developing cardiovascular problems, according to findings published in Nutrition and Metabolism.
Although an alkaline diet filled with fruits, vegetables and whole grains may help prevent individuals from having a heart attack, a new study suggests that aside from diet and exercise, blood circulation has a leading role in preventing blockages in blood vessels. Results from a study conducted by researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center reveal that there are ways to help boost circulation, which can protect individuals from medical complications caused by clogged arteries.
While consuming less fattening foods and following an alkaline diet of fruits and vegetables may help decrease artery blockage, a study has found that exercise may help patients with peripheral artery disease. There are more than 5 million patients who suffer from the disease, which deals with the plaque build-up in arteries that can limit blood circulation to the limbs, which can ultimately cause an amputation.
