A member asked:
Does exercise clear plaque build up over time and if not how does it help your heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not by plaque clear.: Your heart is like an engine with 3 main parts: muscle (engine), blood supply via coronary arteries (pipes that bring fuel to the heart) and electric system that starts the engine up. Plaque affects the second - coronaries. Excercise is great for the first one - heart muscle itself.
