Cardiovascular System (Blood)

Lymphatic System (Lymph)

Blood consists of the liquid plasma 

that transports the red and white 

blood cells and platelets.

Lymph that has been filtered and is 

ready to return to the cardiovascular 

system is a clear or milky white fluid.

Blood is visible and damage to 

blood vessels causes obvious signs 

such as bleeding or bruising.

Lymph is invisible and damage to 

the lymphatic system is difficult 

to detect until swelling occurs.

Blood is filtered by the kidneys. All 

blood flows through the kidneys where 

waste products and excess fluids are 

removed. Necessary fluids are returned 

to the cardiovascular circulation.

Lymph is filtered by lymph 

nodes located throughout the 

body. These nodes remove some 

fluid and debris. They also kill 

pathogens and some cancer cells.

Normally the body maintains a balance of fluid in tissues by ensuring that 

the same amount of water entering the body also leaves it. The circulatory 

system transports fluid within the body via its network of blood vessels. The 

fluid, which contains oxygen and nutrients needed by the cells, moves from 

the walls of the blood vessels into the body’s tissues. After its nutrients are 

used up, fluid moves back into the blood vessels and returns to the heart. The 

lymphatic system also absorbs and transports this fluid. Using the Exerciser 

Elite® is one of the quickest ways we know to help the lymphatic system get 

rid of the excess liquid build up.

Exercise & Oxygen…Your health depends on it

Increasing the oxygen level in the blood is extremely important. All functions 

of  the  body  are  regulated  by  oxygen  and  must  be  replenished  as  our  life 

energy depends on it. Oxygen energizes cells so they can regenerate. The body 

uses oxygen to metabolize food and to eliminate toxins and waste through 

oxidation. The brain needs oxygen each second to process information. In 

fact, all of the organs, in the human body, need a great deal of oxygen to 

function efficiently. The ability to think, feel, move, eat, sleep and even talk 

all depends on generated energy from oxygen. 

Exercise and Building Oxygen Surplus 

Most  exercises  are  anaerobic  in  nature.  Strenuous  exercises  can  create  a 

state  of  oxygen  debt,  or  a  depletion  of  oxygen  in  the  body,  which  means 

it is an anaerobic activity, not aerobic activity. People who engage in heavy 

competitive sports usually create an anaerobic condition. This is also true for 

a person who has a heavy workout in the gym. A body can go into a state 

of oxygen debt from which it takes time for the body to recover. Using the 

Exerciser Elite® after your exercise routine will help increase the oxygen in 

the body, which allows your body to recover from oxygen debt more rapidly.
Walking, jogging, riding a bike or swimming, in moderation, can provide 

aerobic  activity  and  will  most  likely  record  an  increase  in  oxygen  when 

measured by an oximeter. There is no substitute for exercise, however; the 

Exerciser Elite® can definitely enhance one’s exercise program. In addition to 

helping increase the oxygen in the body, it helps to limber up the spine and 

joints making it easier for you to exercise. 

Nitric Oxide and Endorphins

Regular  exercise  can  help  the  body  produce  and  release  nitric  oxide  and 

endorphins.
In  the  late  1980’s  researchers  discovered  that  human  cells  produce  nitric 

oxide  and  use  it  to  communicate  with  other  cells.  Abnormalities  in  the 

body’s production of nitric oxide have been linked with high blood pressure, 

atherosclerosis, diabetes, impotence and stroke. 
In the body, nitric oxide is generated through the action of enzyme systems 

called  nitric  oxide  synthase.  The  enzyme  uses  a  common  amino  acid, 

L-arginine, and converts it to nitric oxide. This process takes place in many 

cells  and  tissues.  The  nitric  oxide  then  regulates  many  body  functions 

including: blood pressure, respiration, blood clotting, bacterial killing, brain 

and sexual function. Blood vessels continuously generate small amounts of 

nitric oxide that cause the vessels to widen and greatly increase blood flow. 

At  the  same  time,  some  of  the  nitric  oxide  interacts  with  blood  platelets, 

the  elements  in  the  blood  stream  responsible  for  clotting.  This  causes  the 

platelets to become less reactive and prevent their clotting of important blood 

vessels such as those feeding the brain or heart. By opening blood vessels and 

increasing blood flow, nitric oxide can also relieve impotence. 
In the lung blood vessels, nitric oxide improves the amount of oxygen that the 

lungs deliver to the blood. An important part of the body’s defenses against 

microbial invasion relies upon the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide 

is a major component of the body’s policing against infections. The process 

of memory formation within the brain can also be nitric oxide dependent. 

Specific cells within the brain produce nitric oxide that can reinforce memory 

storage.
