Small blood vessels will contract in response to poor diet.

High sugar and high carb intake, increases insulin which then causes inflammatory and constrictive effects on blood vessels.
This is a Cox-2 process.

Low magnesium intake also will cause small blood vessels to
clamp down. You can fix that with supplements of quality magnesium (not OXIDE) and soaks in epsom salts.
This is my magnesium thread: Products with magnesium oxide in them are not appreciably absorbed in the GI tract.

Certain supplements also help blood flow. L-Arginine is one.

Inflamed blood vessels can be due to autoimmune disorders, and there are blood tests for that. Also certain antibodies made in the bone marrow impede blood flow in the periphery. These can be tested for in blood tests as well.
