Here is how your arteries work and function
-Each layer of these arteries is made up of epithelial cells.
-The middle layer is elastic and very strong.
-It helps pump the body's blood.
-The inner layer is smooth and allows the blood to flow easily.
-As the heart beats, the arteries expand and are filled with blood.
-The heart relaxes and produces enough force to push the blood through.
-If you are healthy, this whole intricate circulatory system works well with the
oxygen-rich blood moving and transporting essentials throughout the body
successfully so and unhindered.
Why cholesterol is not good for your arteries
-Any fatty deposits that causes blockages and obstacles that interfere puts you
at risk for disease (heart attack and stroke)
-These thick substances WILL prevent your body from working well.
-Your heart will eventually become starved of the required blood – you are and
will be at great risk. You might even die because of it.
When this build up and thickening occurs due to high levels of bad cholesterol, you
need to deal with the problem and ‘unclog’ your arteries, getting rid of the residue
and fatty deposits. For those of us with an early catch of this condition and a good
prognosis, even clear arteries (for now), ALWAYS REMEMBER prevention is better
than cure! There are medications, lifestyle changes and even invasive procedures to
deal with this problem in order to hand you back your quality of life and deal
effectively with lowering your cholesterol.
Yesterdays top standards quickly becomes today/tomorrow’s entry-requirements.
This is also true for cholesterol. Even borderline or acceptable levels of cholesterol
will not be enough! Exercise and healthy eating is critical regardless!
CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE, CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FUTURE FOR THE BETTER! It will make a world of difference in the long run. Keeping your levels well within, even far below the accepted is to be highly recommended.
Please share with friends and family ... you might be saving a life.
