Exercise is important to reduce blood cholesterol levels. High cholesterol can increase plaque and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke and high blood pressure.
Exercise can help reduce weight. Obesity destroys arteries, causes strokes and heart attacks, and destroys the kidneys.
Exercise keeps the heart and lungs in good condition.
Exercise reduces the resting blood pressure and resting heart rate, both important in reducing overall stress on the circulatory system.
So why am I sitting here answering these questions when I should be active right now?
Yes. Exercise allows for improved blood flow and circulation and reduced incidence and prevalence of coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure.

Lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise and stress control play major roles in the development and prevention of heart disease in men.
It is partly genetically determined but lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, weight, and smoking play a role as well. The lifestyle component is your diet. Atherosclerosis progresses faster in those people who eat diets rich in animal fats, fried foods and simple carbohydrates (e.g. sweets). Also, smoking, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle contribute, as well. Atherosclerosis is sometimes called a "lifestyle disease" because some of the risk factors are within the patient's control.
Decreases your risk of developing heart disease
Not usually. The main contributors to heart disease are genetic factors, obesity, a diet high in cholesterol and/or sodium, and a sedentary lifestyle.
The heart rate of a person with a sedentary lifestyle is much higher than those with an active lifestyle. These people have been known to have heart rates up to 90 beats per minute at rest.
Stroke is associated with high blood pressure. High blood pressure is associated with sedentary life style. So stroke, then, is associated with sedentary life style. Strokes can be prevented by living a generally heart-healthy life, and keeping the heart healthy is a lifestyle in itself, especially as a person ages.

There are genetic predispositions to heart disease, but most problems are related to lifestyle - a diet high in saturated fats, cholesterol, calories; a sedentary lifestyle; smoking; alcohol consumption; stress. While you have no control over your genetics, you do have control over your lifestyle and can opt for living a healthy one, which is the best path to a healthy heart.

An unhealthy lifestyle effects the circulatory system because it causes the things like the lungs, heart, digestive tract, kidneys, and liver to shut down. This means, without this or any body system, you will die or get a transplant.
