The purpose of this study is to find out what effects aerobic exercises and acupuncture point stimuli have on the blood. For this purpose, we reviewed 10 papers on aerobic exercises and 10 papers on the stimuli to acupuncture points and compared the changes of HDL-C, seroenzyme GOT and GPT. The results showed that HDL-C increased significantly after aerobic exercises; more so than before as stated in the papers on aerobic exercises. On the other hand, HDL-C decreased significantly after acupuncture point stimuli; more so than before as stated in the papers on the stimuli to acupuncture points. Seroenzyme GOT increased more significantly after aerobic exercises than shown before in the papers on aerobic exercises. However, there was a more significant decrease after the stimulus than shown before in the papers on acupuncture points stimuli. Seroenzyme GPT increased more significantly after aerobic exercises than shown before in the papers on aerobic exercises. There were no significant differences before and after on, the acupuncture points stimuli, according to those papers. Therefore, as HDL-C increased significantly when doing aerobic exercises, aerobic exercises prove to be a more effective treatment method than stimuli to the acupuncture points for patients with hyperlipidemia. However, from the facts that seroenzyme GOT and GPT increased significantly after aerobic exercises, we find that aerobic exercises may be more of a burden on the tissues of the liver, skeletal muscles, stomach, etc. than the stimuli to acupuncture points.
