wow just to imagine how small our arteries are

@Breathlless as shown in the video, the plaque builds up under the first inner layer of the blood vessel, so to speak.

Damaging that layer to scrape off the atherosclerosis causes thrombosis, internal bleeding and most of all a whole lot of cholesterol embolisms, we don't want that :)

[Breathlless]

why cant the fat be scraped off? o_o

@zonevlogger well also working out right, i mean that build up is from plack if fat and can be burned off with exercise right?

[MMBNM]

@zonevlogger What does that mean?

[BlueBajs]

@zonevlogger shit so I can't live normal because I will die?

[zonevlogger]

changing to a vegan or vegetarian life style reduces the risk of artero-sklerotic-placks
