One of the biggest contributors to swelling is excess sodium intake.

High salt intake can:

• Cause water retention
• Increase pressure in blood vessels
• Make ankles and feet look puffier

Reducing processed foods often helps more than any vitamin alone.

🚶‍♂️ 2. Lack of Movement Affects Circulation

When you sit or stand for too long:

• Blood flow slows down
• Fluid pools in the lower legs
• Swelling becomes more noticeable

Simple walking or leg movement helps circulation improve naturally.

💧 3. Hydration Actually Reduces Swelling

It may sound surprising, but dehydration can make swelling worse.

When the body lacks water:

• It holds onto fluids
• Swelling can increase
• Circulation becomes less efficient

Proper hydration supports fluid balance.

🧬 4. Other Nutrients That Support Circulation

Besides vitamin B6, other nutrients may help support vascular health:

• Magnesium (muscle and fluid balance)
• Potassium (helps counter sodium effects)
• Vitamin C (supports blood vessels)

These work together — not individually.
