Flexi Says: If the speed of blood flow is increased, then the rate of diffusion of nutrients reaching each part of the body will increase, and the stamina of a person will increase. Regular exercise can improve blood flow, which can in turn improve overall health. However, there is a limit to how much of an increase is healthy, as there is a high risk associated with extreme increases in the speed of blood flow. In extreme cases, the heart of a person will begin to expand and there is a high chance of heart failure.
