Dr. Goldstein:
It’s got to be more than that though. I would hope that diet and exercise can be shown to improve blood vessels and circulation, and they help that what we call the endothelium; these are the lining cells across blood vessels.
The study that was done actually show that there is a blood test called C-reactive protein. The C-reactive protein reflects the inflammation that goes on in the lining of blood vessels. Those women who did better on the diet and exercise regimen and had better sexual function had lower C-reactive protein. So that makes a little sense that they had just improved circulation to their genital area.
