Venous circulation plays a crucial role in maintaining overall metabolic health. It is responsible for returning deoxygenated blood and metabolic waste from the body back to the heart, which is then sent to the lungs for oxygenation. Efficient venous circulation helps transport nutrients, hormones, and oxygen effectively, supporting tissue repair, detoxification, and energy production.
When venous circulation is impaired, it can lead to issues like swelling, varicose veins, delayed wound healing, and systemic inflammation. Long-term problems with circulation may increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions, fatigue, and even metabolic disorders like diabetes. Maintaining proper venous flow also supports microcirculation, which is essential for nutrient delivery at the cellular level and removing metabolic byproducts. Venous circulation involves regular physical activity, such as walking or using tools like the Sitflexx to stimulate calf muscle activity (sometimes called the “second heart”), along with staying hydrated, managing weight, and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing.
