Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque inside your arteries—and it can quietly affect your health over time. ⚠️
This plaque (made of fat, cholesterol, and other substances) causes arteries to narrow and harden, reducing blood flow to vital organs like your heart and brain. It can lead to heart attack, stroke, and other serious conditions.
The scary part? It often develops without symptoms.
Healthy habits, early screening, and prevention can make all the difference.
