How does cardiovascular health improve through cardio/aerobic exercise? Especially for those with clogged arteries from years of a sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary habits. What does the body do to correct this?
In: Biology
Atherogenesis (formation of fat in arteries) starts in the first decade of life. The mechanism of development and how to counteract this is not fully understood. Reducing the level of fat (ldl) has shown to reduce atheroma burden, amongst a few other complicated things.
Exercise is very useful for peripheral arterial disease, lessening symptoms. Keep walking if nothing else!
