The three blood vessel brothers

Generally speaking, the body can maintain a healthy state because of the cells in the body. The three blood vessel brothers: arteries, veins and capillaries are responsible for transporting nutrients and removing waste.

When blood circulation is good, water in the body will continue to flow away with the blood vessels, allowing the body to maintain a balanced amount of water. But when the blood circulation is not good, excess water will accumulate in the body, and this water will remain in the cells, causing the body to appear edema.
