Why is excersise always the answer?

Our body is made to move, so much of our body is dedicated to it, so much of our brain is dedicated to it.

Idk why but it makes sense

Exercise (moving muscles) helps the lymphatic system 'pump' cellular waste to areas it can be processed.

Not always.

Only for those people whose activity level is less than the body expects / requires.

Which is most people in the "Western World"

My gardener friend's health issues are not ones that could be solved by exercise. They have a heart condition caused by over exercise just from their job.

Serious question, what heart condition does one get from over exercising (we can over-exercise other muscles, so why not the heart)?

I'm not doubting, just wondering what to go lookup.

So he has an arrhythmia and contues working hard? Do you know what type of arrhythmia? Everything I've read about them seems they're rather debilitating when they occur (depending on the type).

Really interesting situation here, I can't imagine working through something like that (I've had it happen, randomly, so docs can't diagnose. But it's no fun, and I can't imagine trying to do anything while it's occurring).

Exercise can also be very damaging to people with ME/CFS as it triggers Post Exertional Malaise (PEM), which sometimes permanently reduces a patient's baseline.

Ah, downvotes by the ignorant.
