"The Efficacy of Stretching Exercises on Arterial Stiffness in Middle-Aged and Older Adults"

Cardiovascular disease  is the leading cause of death given our current lifestyle. prevention is key. 
I credit the following to Terra Rosa for their regular research posts:
"The study concluded that regular stretching performed over at least 4 weeks in middle-aged and advanced persons (here from at least 40 years of age) leads to a significant reduction in arterial stiffness, which is a vascular aspect that usually increases with age. This ’rejuvenation’ of the arteries is associated with a lower resting heart rate in users, lower diastolic blood pressure, and improved vascular endothelial function."
