Exercise may help stay younger by growing new blood vessels

New research indicates that regular exercise may slow down aging by promoting the growth of new blood and lymphatic vessels, which are essential for a healthy immune system and tissue nourishment. The study, published by researchers at a Chinese medical institute, highlights that exercise stimulates angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, processes that decline with age. These vascular improvements can enhance organ function, reduce the risk of heart disease, and support cognitive health. However, the exact exercise parameters that maximize these benefits remain unclear and require further investigation.
