One of the most common diseases of the circulatory system is arte- riosclerosis. This disease makes the artery walls thick and rigid. Another disease, atherosclerosis, is caused by a buildup of sticky plaque* on the artery walls. Plaque can reduce blood flow in the artery.
<span>Both of these conditions are diseases of the
arteries but the cause of each differs. Atherosclerosis is a condition where
the arteries' inner walls have deposits of fats that build up through time.
These fatty deposits are called plaques and they are usually caused by bad
eating habits and lifestyle. Atherosclerosis can be cured through surgery where
doctors will scrape of the fatty deposits from the arteries or they will
totally replace the damaged arteries with a different arterial-tubing. If not
prevented, this disease could lead to heart attacks or strokes.<span>
<span>Arteriosclerosis
is a condition in which the walls of the arteries harden. This typically occurs
in old age and is an inevitable condition. </span></span></span>
I, currently, enjoy a few extra servings of protein, as I burn the calories soon thereafter. The other food groups I balance in accordance with the recommended intake.
