What are capillaries, and why are they important for circulation? - #14706
I recently heard that capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, but I don’t fully understand what they do or why they are so important. What exactly are capillaries, and how do they function in the circulatory system? I read that they connect arteries and veins, but how does this process help in delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues? Also, why are capillaries so thin, and what happens if they get damaged? I also want to understand what conditions affect capillaries. Can diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, or inflammation cause problems with capillaries? Also, are there natural ways to strengthen capillaries and improve blood circulation? If anyone has had issues related to capillaries, what were the symptoms, and how did you manage them? Did lifestyle changes or Ayurvedic treatments help?
