#Hypothyroidism is the term for a slower-performing #thyroid. This can decrease #metabolism and cause #chronicfatigue. A person may receive a diagnosis of #hyperthyroidism if his thyroid produces too many #T3 and #T4 #hormones; this leads to other #hormoneimbalances and a #fastermetabolism, sometimes causing rapid #weightloss. #Goiters are #swollenthyroids, a painful condition that not only affects the thyroid itself but also the #voicebox and #bloodflow around the #neck https://www.angstrom-minerals.com/?dt_id=2139817

Mobility as Recovery: Movement that Heals ❤️‍🩹

Mobility and recovery aren’t just “extras”, they’re the foundation that allows your body to adapt, grow, and perform at its best.

🩸 Mobility Enhances Blood Flow for Faster Recovery

🦵 Better Mobility Reduces Muscle Tightness and Soreness

🏋️ Mobility Training Supports Optimal Lifting Mechanics

Study: Flavanol-Rich Foods Protect Vascular Health in Men from Harmful Effects of Prolonged Sitting | Sci.News

In a new study, dietary cocoa flavanols consumed just before 2 hours of uninterrupted sitting were effective at preventing sitting-induced reductions in vascular function in young healthy men.

Circulation in a Capillary Network

Today’s video shows red blood cells flowing through a capillary network in a rat’s skeletal muscle. At this resolution, our eyes can follow the paths of individual red blood cells squeezing through each capillary, as well as the faster blur of thicker capillaries where many cells can pass at once. Watching videos like this is a great way to build intuition for particle image velocimetry, streaklines, and other flow visualization methods as our brains can readily recognize where the cells are moving fast and where they are slower.

New Research Uncovers How the Brain’s Activity, Energy Use, and Blood Flow Change as People Fall Asleep | Mass General Brigham

A new study by Mass General Brigham investigators used next-generation imaging technology to discover that when the brain is falling asleep, it shows a coordinated shift in activity.

Turn your world upside down — literally. 💫

A daily headstand boosts blood flow to the brain, sharpens focus, and fills every cell with oxygen.

Just one minute a day can awaken clarity and inner strength.
