Something to keep in mind - Regular exercise it is said can delay and may reverse the aging of process of the arteries. Also exercise lifts the heart rate, which in turn helps increase blood flow. Of course a better blood flow will create more friction on the blood vessel's linings which, in turn, stimulates the production of nitric oxide. All this just from a little exercise?
The production of nitric oxide helps improve the ability of the arteries to dilate and assists in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, all this helps to protect arteries from developing disorders.
