The research team of the University of Leipzig in Germany found through experiments that even in patients with a history of severe heart failure, after riding a bicycle for 30 minutes a day for 4 months, new stem cells were born in the bones and the number of capillaries in the muscles increased,which all contribute to the self-repair of the heart.
The researchers pointed out that during exercise, the heart sends 10 times the usual amount of blood to the muscles of the whole body. During this process, stem cells are automatically released, taking the stress off the heart and repairing broken parts.
If you continue to exercise, even severely necrotic and blocked heart muscle can grow new blood vessels.The researchers said that there is currently no drug that can promote the generation of new stem cells, so exercise is the only way to restore health to heart disease patients.
Habitual cycling can expand your heart even more. Otherwise, the blood vessels will become thinner and the heart will degenerate, and you will experience the troubles it brings in your old age. At that time, you will find out how perfect cycling is.
In fact, because cycling compresses the blood vessels, the blood circulation is accelerated, and the brain takes in more oxygen, so you inhale more fresh air.
Cycling is a sport that requires a lot of oxygen. There was an old man who completed a 460-kilometer bicycle trip in 6 days.
He said: “The elderly should exercise at least 3 times a week to strengthen the heart and restore normal function. You have to make the heart beat vigorously, but not for too long.
Cycling can also prevent high blood pressure, sometimes more effective than drugs. It can also prevent obesity, hardening of blood vessels, and making bones strong.
Cycling saves you from the need for drugs to maintain your health, and it does no harm.
