What is one notable benefit of massage?

Reduced lymphatic fluid
Decreased metabolism
Increased blood supply to the area
Improved skin elasticity

The correct answer is: Increased blood supply to the area

One notable benefit of massage is the increased blood supply to the area being treated. This enhanced circulation helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, promoting healing and recovery. Improved blood flow can also aid in the removal of metabolic waste products, leading to overall better tissue health and function. In addition to its physiological benefits, increased blood supply can contribute to relaxation and a sense of well-being, making massage a popular therapeutic option. The combination of improved circulation and relaxation can help alleviate tension in muscles, enhance recovery from physical exertion, and improve skin appearance by promoting a healthy glow. Other options do not align with the positive effects of massage: reduced lymphatic fluid would actually be counterproductive, while decreased metabolism is not an intended outcome of massage therapy, and improved skin elasticity is more directly influenced by factors such as hydration and nutrition rather than massage alone.
