Blood flow is one of those underestimated, but highly important aspect of health. It is literally lifeblood on which all other organs and systems depend on in the body. It can be increased via exercise, foods, sex, social interactions.
The following are five advantages that an improved blood circulation brings for you.
1. Makes you strong
When your blood is flowing well and fast, it brings more nutrients and minerals to your muscles, enabling them to grow faster and better, and to remain strong. Increased strength in your muscles increases your overall strength, so that you are able to do more strenuous work and endue longer at it.
2. Increased brain function
Your brain is one of the largest organs in your body, consuming a huge proportion of the body’s sugars more than 20 percent, and many other nutrients and minerals. If there is even a slight fall in the supply of these resources, the brain will begin to function at a significantly lower level, reducing cognitive ability, memory, attentiveness and many more. An increase in blood flow makes it more active, that more of these nutrients and oxygen reach the brain, improving its function and hence your performance at mental activities.
3. Improved penal action
The penis or manhood of a man is basically just a spongy tissue, that becomes firm when blood is pumped into it. Poor blood flow means, that it does not become as firm and hence cannot penetrate as well to eject sperm, meaning a lower chance of conceiving and less sexual satisfaction for both partners.
4. Improves your speed
If you are an athlete, then you should be looking for how to improve your blood flow, because it will also improve your speed and performance. As more blood is reaching the muscles in your legs, they are able to conduct more chemical reactions much faster, that provide more explosive energy to move forward faster.
5. Reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases
When your blood is flowing faster and better it carries along materials more quickly, making it less likely that materials will accumulate in one spot of the blood vessel, leading to many cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, stroke, heart damage, heart attack, which can also reduce blood flow. Also for blood flow to increase, most of the time the blood vessels have to be dilated. This wider blood vessel also makes it harder for substances to gather and significantly clog or block the vessel.
