Short YouTube clip (by Anne Truong MD, Jan 17, 2024) explaining how intermittent fasting may improve blood flow by reducing inflammation. The speaker uses metaphors (inflammation as a fire; vessel lining as a leaking pipe) and links reduced inflammation to widened blood vessels and increased blood delivery — including reference to penile blood flow/sexual function. Claims are presented in simplified, lay language.

It also improved blood flow. Now, how does it improve blood flow? Because it is good for reducing inflammation. When you reduce inflammation, what it does is that it opens up the blood vessels more, so you have more blood flow coming from your heart to the penis. Now, I made it more simplified than it needs to be, but essentially it's what it is. Inflammation. Imagine it as a fire that is burning the lining of your blood vessel. And the lining of your blood vessel is like a pipe, and the inside lining of the pipe is inflamed or is leaking. So that's inflammation. But intermittent fasting can help repair the inflammation and aligning of the blood vessel.
