Here are three benefits of having body massages daily

A full-body massage with soft music, low lighting, and a feeling of tranquility is bliss. But most people do not know is that while you might be in total relaxation mode, your body goes completely into an activation mode during a massage. 

A massage stimulates your nervous system; wakes up your muscles, organs, and glands; moves blood and lymph fluid, and gets multitudes of cells to produce and release chemicals and hormones. Here are the three benefits of having body massages daily.

1. Reduces Stress and Anxiety: 

Body massages help in reducing the levels of cortisol in the body, which is a hormone produced in response to stress. By reducing cortisol levels, massages can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, resulting in a more relaxed and calm mind.

2. Improved Blood Supply:

Did you know your bones also have a blood supply and receive the same advantages from massage as your muscles? Blood flow brings calcium and other minerals to your bones to support their strength and function, so your skeletal system receives a boost from a completely relaxing body massage.

3. A Healthy Heart:

A full-body massage is good for your heart as well. The vasodilation produced by massage increases your return which, in turn, increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to all your organs. Your entire cardiovascular system relaxes and circulation throughout your body improves. Activating your nervous system’s rest and digest mode helps regulate blood pressure and heart rate.
