Leg pain while walking that improves with rest.
Cold or pale feet.

Sudden numbness or weakness.
Chest pain or shortness of breath.
These symptoms should not be treated with home remedies alone.
Final Thoughts
Drinking enough water is important for overall health, but there is no mineral you can simply add to water that will restore youthful blood circulation. The best way to protect your heart and blood vessels is through regular exercise, a balanced diet, good hydration, and proper management of conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
If you think you may have poor circulation, consult a healthcare professional to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
