Stretching Prevents Aging
Dr. Michael Lam, M.D., M.P.H., A.B.A.A.M
“Inflexibility is an important component of physical deterioration and a critical element in any anti-aging exercise program. Flexibility training is the foundation of any exercise program because it increases blood flow to the muscle. The concept and principle behind stretching is to increase blood flow to the muscles, starting with the major muscles with the biggest mass first. By allowing increased oxygenation and blood flow to the big muscle groups, excessive blood flow and the nourishment is carried on to the smaller muscle group.”
