A healthy body begins with a healthy blood flow
OVER the past months, the world has grappled with Covid-19 with over 56 million people infected and 1.3 million succumbing to the disease, according to the World Health Organization. The most common symptoms of Covid-19 include fevers, coughing and shortness of breath. There are emerging data showing that Covid-19 not only causes respiratory illness, but is also associated with neurologic complications such as stroke.
What do all these symptoms have in common? Impaired blood circulation. In fact, several retrospective clinical studies have shown that Covid-19 is prone to attack the lining of blood vessels all over the body, deteriorating the body’s defence system and forming blood clots in the blood vessels which can ultimately lead to poor blood circulation.
Poor blood circulation is reflected in restricted or blocked blood flow to various parts of the body and vital organs such as the brain, usually due to blockage of the blood vessel caused by blood clots from platelet clumping (platelet aggregation). Subsequently, the lack of oxygen and nutrients supplied to the organs may lead to:
Fatigue
Numbness and tingling sensations in the hands and feet
Cold hands and feet Life-threatening diseases (such as stroke) – A stroke can occur when the brain is deprived of blood supply, and brain tissue will die in the absence of oxygen
Poor blood circulation is reflected in restricted or blocked blood flow to various parts of the body and vital organs such as the brain, usually due to blockage of the blood vessel caused by blood clots from platelet clumping (platelet aggregation).
Maintaining healthy blood circulation is important for a healthy life as it warrants the smooth flow of blood that carries oxygen and nutrients throughout the body – allowing vital organs such as the brain to function properly, as well as ensuring the efficient transport of immune cells around the body. Below are the tips to improve blood circulation:
Regular exercise
Massages
Staying hydrated
Natural health supplements for improving blood circulation
Discovering the scientifically proven natural ingredient to improve blood circulation
Fruitflow natural water-soluble tomato extract is the first natural, scientifically proven ingredient for healthy blood circulation. It consists of a number of bioactive compounds with antiplatelet properties such as nucleosides, polyphenols and flavonoids which have been clinically tested to improve blood circulation.
A daily dose of just 150mg Fruitflow natural water-soluble tomato extract can help to improve blood circulation by maintaining a normal platelet aggregation,
according to a July 2010 article titled Scientific Opinion on the modification of the authorisation of a health claim related to water-soluble tomato concentrate and helps to maintain a healthy blood flow and benefits circulation pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 following a request in accordance with Article 19 of the Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 published in EFSA Journal.
Subsequently, this may help to avoid unwanted blood clot formation which is the primary cause of clot stroke
(ischaemic stroke).
While strengthening immunity to fight against Covid-19 is important now, maintaining healthy blood circulation is also vital to reduce the risk of a stroke.
