Can exercising prevent blocked arteries even if you are a smoker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but...: It will slow the process of atherosclerosis, but alone, it will not prevent it. If you are health serious, quit tobacco. But continue to exercise doing sporting activities you enjoy. Your weight will be kept in control. You will have better endurance and strength!
