🎙️ CLOGGED ARTERIES ♿️

Clogged arteries, also known as atherosclerosis, occur when fatty deposits called plaque build up inside the arteries, reducing blood flow throughout the body.

This condition can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease.

Common risk factors include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. Early warning signs may include chest pain, shortness of breath, leg pain while walking, or no symptoms at all. Living a heart-healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and routine medical checkups can help prevent or manage clogged arteries and protect your overall health.
