Why do we want our blood to move efficiently?
Blood feeds our cells. Blood which is thick, congested & slow has a hard time reaching & feeding cells. When this happens:
- Cells become nutrient-starved & weakened.
- Tissue inflammation begins.
- Tissue deterioration sets in.
- Cellular death can now occur.
- We call this tissue necrosis.
