Fat Clogs Arteries Like Sewers
- Heart disease mainly arises from coronary artery blockage due to excessive fat in the blood.
- This fat buildup clogs vessels and hinders heart function, similar to fat accumulation in city sewers.
Stroke Starves Brain of Blood
- Stroke affects the brain by either clots blocking blood flow or blood vessels rupturing.
- Both types stop blood supply to the brain, causing rapid failure and death.

- Major stroke risk factor is high blood pressure, often driven by excess dietary salt.
- Reduce salt intake and take prescribed antihypertensives to lower stroke risk effectively.
