Platelets are small but important blood cells that help heal wounds, prevent blood loss and keep blood vessels healthy.
If you exercise, their role becomes even more important: they protect blood vessels from micro-injuries that can occur during intense exertion.
How does fitness affect platelets and blood vessels?
Moderate exercise is good for blood circulation:
- Improve platelet balance.
- Accelerate tissue healing.
- Increase the elasticity of blood vessels.
- Reduce the risk of thrombosis.
However, excessive exercise can be harmful:
- The blood vessels experience excessive pressure.
- Blood may become too thick or too liquid.
- The body does not have time to recover.
How to exercise with vascular benefits?
- Alternate between cardio and strength training.
- Drink enough water to maintain normal blood viscosity.
- Eat foods that are good for blood vessels: pomegranate, spinach, nuts, fish.
- Give your body time to recover.
Conclusion
Competent training strengthens blood vessels, improves blood circulation and supports heart health. The main thing is to keep a balance between load and rest.
