A member asked:
Can exercising remove plaque in your arteries at all or not?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO.: At least, there is no data to suport that. Exercise is still very good for you regardless of plaque.

Probably not: Exercise alone won't remove plaque. It must be accompanied by proper diet and medication depending on the extent of the plaques throughout all the arteries in your body.
