I. What's so important about blood circulation in terms of looksmaxxing?
II. Well, what's the methods of improving blood circulation and guaranteeing optimal oxygen supply?
III. Balance is key, don't overdo it.
IV. Conclusion
Optimal oxygen levels and blood circulation is vital to not only your overall health, but your appearance as well. However, you have to be careful when bloodmaxxing as it can lead to serious health issues. If you show any symptoms of blood/oxygen-related condition from going overboard, I heavily recommend contacting a doctor immediately and stopping most of the methods recommended. (mainly supplements)
Furthermore, there is so much I've probably missed so I'd recommend researching in your own time as well if you are interested in this topic.
Wish you luck on your ascension, brother.

I. What's so important about blood circulation in terms of looksmaxxing?
As most know, good blood circulation is absolutely vital for an individual's overall health with benefits such as improved memory, mental health, longevity and overall fitness.
However, how does it affect an individual's appearance?
Skin
Penis
Hair
Growth
However, how does it affect an individual's appearance?
Skin
Due to the slowing of blood circulation, the waste removal of toxins from your body can be tempered with. This causes your skin to be of higher risk in breakouts, eczema and skin inflammation.
It can also cause premature aging, as slower blood flow leads to your skin being unable to get the healthy rate of antioxidants it'll need. Without a constant supply of these antioxidants at a healthy rate, a person is more prone to wrinkles, fine lines and other age-related symptoms.
Furthermore, it can also worsen dark circles under your eyes; this is mainly due to how thin the skin around an average person's eye area is very thin, which would mean that if the blood in the capillaries under your skin is less oxygenated then it'll cause that area to form bluish shadows around that area.

Penis
Studies have shown that nitric oxide, which are sourced from the nitrates in the food we eat, has been shown to not only been shown to help with blood circulation but is considered the main factor to long-lasting and hard erections. In consequence, L-arginine and L-citrulline has been shown to also have a result on erections, however there is some need of more studies on it's effects. This can be seen in studies such as:
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Erectile hydraulics: maximizing inflow while minimizing outflow - PubMed
Because NO is critical for vascular health and ED is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease, maximal attention should be focused on measures known to increase vascular NO production, including the use of PDE5 inhibitors. Attention should also be paid to early, regular use of PDE5...

Hair
Decreased blood flow, which in turns leads to a decrease in oxygen has been shown to negatively impact the growth rate; however, interestingly, an abundance of oxygen to the point of it being excessive has been shown to actually increase the amount hair growth more than "normal" oxygen levels.
This could mean that viable methods of increasing your oxygen intake as well as improving blood flow could genuinely help grow your hair faster even past optimal levels; however, at the same time, you'd have to watch out for Oxygen toxicity from too high oxygen levels. Don't want to be blamed for anyone's death lmao.

Growth
Last, and not least, how blood circulation affects bone growth. It has been shown to have an affect on bone density/mass. In the first article, bone mass was shown to be reduced in elderly women with lower blood flow levels, creating a link between them. And, on a more intriguing note, in the second article increased bone density has been shown to be more prevalent in hypertension patients.

There's also the more obvious fact that good blood circulation would lead to better circulations of nutrients and shit, which will overall lead to optimal height growth(doesn't mean you'll be tall though, lol) but I'm not gonna get into that since it's been covered so much.

II. Well, what's the methods of improving blood circulation and guaranteeing optimal oxygen supply?
Okay, now we know how important blood circulation and oxygen levels are to looksmaxxing. How do we improve it?
Standard methods of improving blood circulation and oxygen levels are the following:
Ok, that's cool and all, but I already know that most of y'all don't give a shit at all about any of the methods previously stated since they are water asf. So here is some more unconventional, and potentially more effective, means of increasing blood flow and oxygen levels:
Supplements
Other means
Standard methods of improving blood circulation and oxygen levels are the following:
- Cardio
- Maintaining a healthy body fat
- Exercise
- Including Omega-3 foods into diet such as fish
- Spicy foods
- Staying hydrated
- Tea
- Quit smoking or reduce the amount of times you smoke.

Supplements
As previously stated, nitric oxide, L-citrulline and L-arginine has been shown to improve blood circulation; especially for reducing erectile dysfunction as shown in the first section. However, there may need to be more studies on it's effects on ED specifically before I can guarantee it's effects
Turmeric, ginger, beetroot juice, cayenne pepper and ginseng has all also been proven time and time again to be effective means of improving blood circulation overall.
Also, remember that treating an underlying deficiency, such as in B vitamins, may help improve your blood circulation tremendously. This is especially the case with iron deficiency.
In terms of oxygen levels, a study on coenzyme Q10 shown an increase of the amount of oxygen in the blood, however this was in COPD patients so you'll have to take that into consideration:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8241703/
Ashwagandha has also to have an effect on increasing the amount of red blood cells and haemoglobin(carrier of oxygen) count as seen in this research paper.

Other means
Pseudo science
Kegals and reverse kegals are believed to improve erection quality, it's duration and the quality of ejaculation; it is also believed to improve blood flow to the penis.
Inversion therapy, whether its using an inversion table or not, is believed to improve blood flow to your upper body; however, please talk to a doctor or be precautious when trying this, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure, strokes, eye diseases or any other related health issues.
Conventional means
For those of y'all with low oxygen levels, oxygen therapy can be used to increase the concentration of oxygen within your blood; normally, the equipment for this are at hospitals but if you get prescribed for it due to low oxygen levels, you should be able to bring devices to increase it to be used at home. Obviously, this is only for richcels or those who seriously need this as these sorts of machines are quite costly.
Messages have been shown to improve blood circulation throughout multiple studies, and is also believed to help hair growth due to this.
Stretching has also been shown to improve blood circulation, with many other important health benefits
Healthy sleep been shown to improve blood circulation; if you wanna know more on the benefits of sleep, I'd highly recommend:

III. Balance is key, don't overdo it.
Now, I know what some of y'all are thinking: if blood circulation and oxygen is so important, why can't you just make sure you get as fast blood flow and highest amount of oxygen that is humanly possible? Well, it's mainly due to the fact it can lead to oxygen toxicity and hypertension, as well as many other medical conditions indirectly.
Of course, having relatively fast blood circulation and high oxygen levels past normal levels is fine, but make sure you are checking that you aren't going into unhealthy territories. And, if you have hypertension, hyperoxia or any other similar condition/state(or show a lot of the symptoms), I recommend completely ignoring this thread.
If you want to be extra precautious, you can skip over the supplementation as those aren't really necessary.
