allowing the blood vessels to move the blood more freely. With increased
blood flow and oxygen to the body, it will improve your cardiovascular health
and fitness.

the thyroid stimulating hormone, testosterone, human growth hormone and
catecholamines, which all are necessary to boost your metabolism and give you
more energy. As well it makes the body more efficient at storing fat and sugar
levels required for fuel. This allows you to regulate blood sugar levels,
preventing spikes in energy levels and then dropping causing fatigue.
