Diet plays a critical role in maintaining the health of your heart and managing your weight. Arteries are the blood vessels responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When these arteries become clogged with plaque—a mixture of fat, cholesterol, and other substances—it can lead to atherosclerosis, a condition that restricts blood flow and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Saturated fats and trans fats found in certain foods can significantly contribute to plaque buildup, making it essential to be mindful of what you eat.
