Physical exercise strengthens the heart muscles hence improving the heartbeats. The heart is able to pump more blood in each beat. Thus, there are fewer heartbeats with efficiency blood circulation, which puts the heart beats under control. There is also evidence that, “physical exercise enables the body to form more blood vessels, which can circulate the blood in the body in case the normal blood pathways are blocked with fatty acids or other small arteries.
