Scientists from Italy have discovered another factor affecting life expectancy. It turned out that those with better blood microcirculation live longer.
Previously, this factor was not known. Scientists decided to examine the body of centenarians. The analysis showed that people over the age of 90 have quite active blood circulation. This mechanism functions in centenarians as in 30-year-olds.
Blood circulation is extremely important for the body. Blood carries nutrients to tissues and organs. Its stagnation leads to various diseases. An indicator of blood circulation is the hormone adrenomedullin. With a low level, blood pressure is normal, with an increased level, health problems begin.
There are many ways to maintain normal blood circulation. First of all, you should reconsider your lifestyle. This is especially true for office workers. Immobility leads to stagnation of blood. It is enough to break away from the chair once every two hours and walk around the office. This will help normalize blood circulation.
Proper nutrition and avoiding bad habits will help prevent stagnation in your blood vessels. Scientists recommend quitting smoking and drinking carbonated or alcoholic beverages. Adequate sleep, contrast showers and weight control will also help normalize blood circulation.
