Why do we need to do exercise?

We do exercise in order to elevate our heart rate.
 
Why is it so important to elevate our heart rate?
 
Our blood vessels, the arteries and the veins, are about  62,000 miles long (or 96,500 kilometers). When our heart rate is elevated, it pumps blood at an accelerated pace through our bodiesincredibly complicated system of veins and arteries.
 
This accelerated flow of blood through our body helps to provide increased oxygen to our cells and
also helps to keep our veins and arteries clear
of plaque that can build up. If plaque accumulates, many negative health issues such as obesity and diabetes can result.
 
The fact is that we only takes 10 minutes a day to elevate our heart rate. Here are some examples:

* Do jumping jacks in the morning.
* Jump rope in the morning for 5 minutes, then increase to 10 after
time.
* Walk briskly around your neighborhood or house.
* Climb the stairs in the house or office for 10 minutes.
* Do aerobics while watching an aerobics show on TV.
