Exercise Regularly To Reverse Heart Failure

Studies upon studies had shown that daily exercise can help to reverse the effects of heart failure. Exercise increases the growth of new muscle cells and blood vessels that are often damaged in patients with heart disease.

Heart disease such as congestive heart failure is a chronic condition and it can be caused by a number of things such as high blood pressure and clogged arteries.

Regular exercise not only can reverse the patterns of muscle and blood vessels damage but it's also very effective to lower high blood pressure.

Researchers at the University of Leipzig in Germany reported that regular exercise increases the progenitor cells (which is a type of cells that repair damage muscle cells and blood vessels) by 166 percentage in both men and women. They also found a six-fold increase in the formation of muscle-repairing cells for active individuals. Replacement of muscle cells is exactly what patients with heart disease need. No increase of progenitor cells were found in people who are inactive most of the time.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 5 million people in the U.S. have heart failure. It's an alarming statistics due to unhealthy lifestyle and lack of exercise.

I hope this short post can motivate you to live healthy and exercise regularly.
