Improving deliveries
Quick summary of the science :
Optimal blood flow is crucial for delivering essential nutrients and hormones, like insulin, throughout the body. When circulation is compromised, it can lead to elevated levels of blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, and triglycerides—key markers of insulin resistance. This page offers practical tips and strategies to enhance blood flow, ensuring that your body’s cells receive what they need to function properly and maintain health.
Tips & Strategies to get the blood flowing
Inflict some torture
Blood vessel torture can save hearts and lives
Remote ischemic preconditioning, uses a blood pressure cuff, to deliberately cut off the blood supply – it’s cruel, but in the end, practice makes perfect
Ditch the mouthwash
Swooshing with mouth wash will increase your blood pressure
Swooshing, stops the conversion of nitrate to nitrite by the bacteria living in your mouth – since nitrite help dilate blood vessels, your blood pressure rises
Soak in the Sun
Sunshine stops blood vessels feeling pressurized
Busy fat cells “neutralize” the testosterone squeeze by painting testosterone pink – this STEALS your manhood. Don’t let it happen to you.
Fidget
A little leg work is all that it takes to protect from atherosclerosis
Sitting stops leg blood flow, but if you fidget, you can improve blood flow- it turns out, tiny muscle contractions are better than NO, muscle contractions
Turn up the heat
A low cost, safe hack, to get the benefit of exercise without moving
You can hack the biology of exercise, to get the benefit of better sugar control, without spending a fortune. All you need is a hot room and an hour, 3 times a week.
Sit actively
It’s HOW you sit, not THAT you sit, that matters
