4. They Lower Blood Pressure
Of course, as soon as you increase the diameter of your blood vessels, you are going to see a drop in blood pressure.
Pressure is simply the density of a liquid or gas inside a container. If you have a lot of blood that is thick in viscosity and you have narrow veins, then the heart needs to work harder to pump it around. When the blood vessels open up though and the same amount of blood remains inside, this allows the heart to work a lot less hard to get the blood around.
This actually should correlate with a drop in heartrate and that’s a good thing too. When the heartrate lowers, this helps to send signals to the body that all is well and in equilibrium.
The bottom line is that stress levels drop and you should find it easier to relax, to sleep and to focus and feel good.
