Can exercise thin your blood?

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably wondered if there’s an easier way to thin out your blood than taking handfuls of anticoagulant medication. It turns out that exercise might hold the answer! But before we jump into whether or not exercise can thin your blood, let’s start with some basic anatomy lessons.

Getting a Glimpse into the Circulatory System

The circulatory system is made up of a series of tubes (hence why doctors ask us to roll up our sleeves!) that carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. At its core are two types of vessels: arteries and veins.

Arteries

Arteries, which come in various sizes from large to small-caliber passageways, transport life-giving oxygen-rich blood away from the heart and towards every part of our body-parts (impressive)!

Veins

As for natural-born marathoners like veins- they continuously ferry de-oxygenated ‘sucky’ blood back toward their maker – The Heart; which in turn pumps it through functional pathways down south where it gets cleaned-up/restored replenished and returned via Artieries to productive members such as skeletal muscles (the ones we use at work-out)!

Here are some fun theories on how climbing hills during jogging (on bicycles) can help rid laggards who don`t see their doctors often needing medications:

  1. Warming up facilitates pumping up-rate- increase heartbeat
    • This forced flow helps expose important protein-factors

    Than VO2 max would naturally take over and does several yet-primary things:

    • Help maintain good physical metabolism rate
    • Gives proteins involved in blood-clotting easy-peasy transporting

      # Coming to age rumors
      As we age, the thickness of our blood tends to increase. Notable factors among aged individuals are nutritional issues –especially deficient in vitamins E and K; which can cause clotting events such as heart attacks or strokes.

      ## Whoah there, Vitamin-K!

      Vitamin-K plays a big role in regulating proteins that contribute towards healthy bones but also it\[2\] assists with preventing clots from wrecking your body machinery plus stimulates cell growth!. Consuming foods rich in this vitamin like spinach, kale has been shown[reference] to improve circulation by aiding metabolism balance. Luckily for us fitness enthusiasts out there – phew! exercise seems able to assist [since it gets us moving].

      ### Well-Exercised Capillaries

      Capillaries are made up of microscopic vessels within our organs and connect arteries with veins (not the vein-weighted ones though they still help). It turns out that through regular exercise capillary network improves both functionally and structurally:

      • Increase muscular tissue mass
      • Elevated oxygen amount available reaching cells : ” Good things come (oxygen!)when you fill those pumping-ins”!
        1. “Good Blood-Circulation![relaxation concept]”
        2. ![figure showing how anatomically widened capillaries ](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/07/05/15/41F1FE5400000578-4665526-image-m-6_1499266148175.jpg)

      # Same same, But Different

      Different from simple blood-thinning medicines such as Warfarin,\ aspirin does not effect viscosity or thickening alone but rather it interacts with Platelets that try to stick together forming dangerous clots ultimately depositing in blood vessels.

      Similarly to anti-coagulant mediations exercise helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by slowing down platelet function\[4\]. It is important to note however that this modification often remains moderate among well-trained athletes – alas you have to sprint some more (1…2..1…)

      At long last, if just reading about exercising was enough to thin our blood , we would all be celebrating (while breathing deeply) one less responsibility on our chores list. However, simply put exercising alongside an appropriate intake of vitamins seem capable of enhancing overall circulation making a significant addition toward healthy lifestyles.

      ## Here Are Some Key Takeaways:

      1. The circulatory system comprises of arteries and veins.
      2. User-friendly cardiovascular exercises causes increase in metabolic activity facilitating transportation functionality within capillaries network.
      3. Sources rich with essential vitamins E & K elevate sugar metabolism balance benefiting both bone health but also reducing chances for clot-formations which eventually turn into serious heart-related risks.[4]

      ### The Bottom Line about blown-blood pressure

      Although regular exercise may help improve your overall circulation thereby facilitating functioning between two local systems – Muscular tissue mass including bones structure; You’re unlikely achieve normal blood pressure on a moderately active lifestyle alone. Getting plenty activity every day definitely has its benefits leveling out any lurking worries related with insufficient diet/age-related complications etc. Avoid questionable ointments promising swollen vessels reduction – re-active [always] rather than proactive!
