Often, arteries get blocked due to the
hardening and thickening of the artery walls. Because of this, the blood carrying
oxygen and supplements is not able to reach various body organs and tissues,
possibly creating colossal harm and keeping organs from working appropriately.
The main culprits are excessive intake of white sugar, fats and
high-cholesterol foods. At the point when arteries are blocked, blood flow is
limited, and in time this may trigger a heart attack or stroke.
