Two men stand together. At first glance you can not see much of their features or differences in health. To them, to their own health, they do not see any more than you do. This is the essence of the term Clinically Silent.
There are no symptoms, many who have it, do not know if it, yet it works away within the body and in time, it just may take your life. Atherosclerosis is a condition which plaque accumulates in an artery carrying blood to the parts of the body. Over time over 40 years this plaque grows larger, and the outside surface of the artery become tougher, harder and stiff, The narrower and non stretchable artery increases the blood pressure, leading to further health problems.
In the picture around them we let you see just what is within the bodies of these two individuals, above you can see the plaque infiltrating the second artery, and below the arteries you see the two molecules which factor to the health of the body during severe Atherosclerosis. The oxygen molecule, the molecule which is being prevented to being supplied properly by the narrowed and blocked pathways. Cholesterol on the left, the molecule which is the source of the plaque.
Our Piece shows a grey ring around the figures, within are food choices which they decided to have for their diet. If you want to prevent a higher chance of developing Atherosclerosis, take a hint from the left side.
