-Obesity = more volume (fat) that must be supplied blood —> extra pressure on your heart to push blood further —> thickening of heart muscle

-Obesity is mostly caused by eating unhealthy foods whose main detriment to cardiovascular health is that these foods can turn into plaque that build up in the artieries in your heart (atherosclerosis; this usually is the cause of coronary artery disease)

-Another common health condition that can affect your cardiovascular health is a high salt diet. Since salt encourages the retaining of water in your blood, it increases the volume in your blood vessels, stretching them in much wider diameters than they would normally be able to handle
This in turn damages the inside of those blood vessels, and the tissue under the inside of the blood vessels likes to pick up chloesterol, which sticks to cholesterol, which can lead to blockages of plaque inside those arteries, potentially leading to the complete blockage of the artery. If this occurs in the heart, in can cause heart attack, as the heart will not receive enough oxygen from blocked blood flow and the heart cells will begin to die.

Verdich [7]
No, I have asthma myself, it is definitely NOT contagious. The difference between a person's lungs with asthma is that when they are out if breath from physical activity, their lungs aren't able to inhale as strongly as a person without asthma's lungs. 1 fact is that asthma causes people to have more mucus in their lungs, which renders it hard to breathe. 2: You can either have asthma for a year or two or your entire life. 3: severe cases of asthma make the airway in your lungs narrow very tightly and will make you need a longer lasting inhaler. 4: the amount of asthma cases grows each year, this year there are 26 million people with asthma, and 18.9 million are adults and 7.1 million are children. 5: Asthma results in 439,00 hospitalizations and 1.8 million emergency room visits annually.

(what I'm trying to say is that asthma sucks)
