Professor Shu Chien has led various research teams that discovered some of the reasons why getting your blood flowing is good for you. His team has noted beneficial effects of exercise on the vascular system that can benefit the heart, and the musculoskeletal system. In other words, the next time you are on a bike ride, brisk walk, swim, or any other exercise that gets the heart rate up, you can be assured that your blood is flowing through your entire body- and that is a good thing!
Increasing blood flow throughout the body can encourage the flushing out of small areas of stagnating blood flow in the network of blood vessels. This can help to keep cells that line the vessels healthy. These cells are called endothelial cells, and their healthy functioning is crucial for avoiding stroke, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular system complications.
Blood can slow down or start to stagnate in places where blood vessels branch or at turns and curves in the blood circulation system. Chien and his research team have compared the network of blood vessels to a complex river system where mud and other materials in the water tend to accumulate in curves or branching points.
Over the years, Chien and his team have shown how getting the blood flowing through the body can change the health and behavior of the endothelial cells. These changes can trigger chemical and physical changes in the cells that contribute to a build-up of chemicals and fats that could eventually block the flow of blood, possibly leading to a heart attack or stroke.
All this research from Chien and his team adds up to say that when you exercise, the action of increased blood flow moving through the blood vessels helps keep the body healthy. So, get up and move every day to get the blood pumping!
