These short, intense bursts—known as "exercis

Vigorous exercise delivers cardiovascular protection that light or moderate activity simply can’t touch The faster blood flow generated during vigorous exercise creates high shear stress on artery walls (a good stress that triggers powerful endothelial adaptations) This stress boosts nitric oxide and prostacyclin, improving vascular function Repeated over time, this makes arteries more flexible, more resilient, and more resistant to atherosclerosis The science is clear Cardiovascular health is b
