Endothelial health refers to the well-being of the endothelium, the thin layer of cells lining the interior surface of blood vessels. This layer plays a crucial role in vascular function, including regulating blood flow, preventing clotting, and maintaining the balance of substances between the bloodstream and surrounding tissues.
Maintaining endothelial health is vital for longevity as it ensures optimal blood circulation, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and supports overall vascular function. Healthy endothelium helps prevent atherosclerosis, hypertension, and other conditions that can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other serious health issues. Through lifestyle choices like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, one can promote endothelial health and enhance longevity.
