Why Is Blood 
Circulation Important 
For Your Body?
     The blood circulation process aims at 
ensuring oxygen and nutrients are 
reaching around and within the body. 
Moreover, circulation results in 
moving hormones to cells and 
eliminates carbon dioxide from the 
body. Hence all the vital functions of 
our body require a proper blood 
circulation.
