1. Exercise More Often
Unfortunately, exercise is the answer to most of life's problems. You need to get up and move around if you want to improve your circulation. If you don't exercise at all, then you should change that. Sitting in one position for the whole day won't do you any favors. If you cringe at the thought of crunches, then all you have to do is take a small walk after your meals. It won't take long, but it'll help your circulation a lot.
2. Get a Massage
If you have the money to visit a salon, treat yourself to a massage. If you have a loving boyfriend, ask him to give you a massage for free. Either way, the pressure from their touch will move your blood around, which is just what you need.
3. Eat Garlic and Ginger
Eating healthier can make you fit, make you more energized, and improve your circulation. It's also a good idea to drink more water, and surprisingly, to eat more garlic and ginger. They're all foods that'll improve your circulation.
4. Take a Hot Bath
Heat helps. The next time you're really cold, either take a hot bath or grab a few hot water bottles to apply to your body. You can even grab empty soda bottles or water bottles, fill them up with steaming water, and then rest them on your body. Whatever is the easiest for you.
What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!
5. Don't Sit in One Spot for Too Long
When you're stuck behind a desk for eight hours a day, it's difficult to get the exercise you need. However, as long as you stretch your legs at least once every hour, you should keep your circulation running smoothly. Make an excuse to run to the bathroom, to make a phone call, or just tell the truth and say that you need to move around a bit before you get back to work. Your boss should understand.

6. Meditate to Reduce Stress
If you aren't a fan of hardcore exercises, then you can try out some relaxing ones. Do some light stretching, yoga, or meditation. They still come with their challenges, though, so don't expect everything to be easy. But as long as you put on some relaxing music to accompany the activity, the workout session should go by in no time. Even if it doesn't burn many calories, it'll reduce stress, which is always healthy for your body.
7. Don't Wear Clothing That's Too Tight
Whether you're wearing a thick pair of socks or a thick sweater to stay warm, make sure that the clothing item isn't too tight. If it is, then it'll end up restricting your blood flow and will make your circulation worse, instead of better. Loose fitting clothes are always the best, health wise.
There's nothing worse than constantly being cold. Of course, you can fix the issue by trying out a few of these techniques. What other tips do you have for improving circulation?

Pat: I layer when I'm freezing. A couple of cotton long sleeved t-shirts followed by a loose sweater or sweat shirt. And sweat pants if there isn't a social situation to worry about. And get dressed right after a WARM shower so your extremities don't get chilled right away. Wool socks are fabulous! And a pretty scarf around your neck at the office! Silk is so soft and comforting and help keep the heat in!
sandy: Oh Sharon. It's a funny joke. It means put some meat on your bones. My family says it to me all the time.
sharon: @zoe yeah that's the one my feet get really cold in the winter too thankyou for sharing that one
sandy: Eat a sandwich
Niamh: Good tip Evelynn! :)
Kathleen: I have found the opposite to be true about wearing warm socks to warm up cold feet. I always sleep with something on my feet and I feel pretty warm.
sharon: @sandy sorry didn't mean put on meat specifically on your bones but as a general comment
Cindee: Get your thyroid checked, it could be hypothyroidism.
zoe: Some people have too few/too many antibodies which causes the blood vessels to narrow (vasoconstriction) when exposed to cold weather.. Then the hands change colour to either white or blue/purple and feel very numb. This is called Raynaud's syndrome and it is a autoimmune reaction and can't be treated. It may also be a result of stress though. If you experience the issue I'll suggest you have a warmpack in your bag so you can warm the effected area up when needed.
sharon: @sandy I really don't know how eating a sandwich is going to help. It's pretty pointless and silly
