I meant that it's doubtful that workouts "blast the plaque out." And if they did, it's a stroke when that blasted plaque finds its way to the brain. I'm sure there are different schools of thought. The school of thought from which my sister-in-law's doctor is coming led him to advise her to cut animal fat out of her diet, eat more greens, etc. I believe it was prudent of her to take his advice and prudent of my wife to follow suit.
