Microvascular Disease
“Small blood vessel disease” (microvascular disease) is where deposits form in the small diameter (under one eight of an inch) blood vessels and capillaries of the body. The body, if given half a chance, can actually regenerate some of these vessels by changing the size of surrounding blood vessels or regenerating small vessels. The body [...]

Some exercise “experts” incorrectly say that anaerobic exercise burns more calories than aerobic exercise because the end result is lactic acid rather than carbon dioxide and water. In truth the lactic acid produced by anaerobic exercise is sent to the liver to be converted back to blood sugar to ultimately be reduced to carbon dioxide [...]
