If you look too hard at this, you will taste the atherosclerosis in the burger.
Atherosclerosis in the simplest form is fat in your blood vessels.
Overtime, it can block blood flow or worse, they can break off and clog a small vessel usually in the heart
Let me explain

Let me explain
Our arteries are pipes that carry blood throughout the body.
When you smoke, have high blood pressure, don't exercise, have diabetes, etc. It can cause the lining of the artery wall to become damaged.
This makes it very easy for cholesterol to deposit in those blood vessels

When you eat a diets that are high in saturated fats eg: processed meats, butter and cheese
Those fats cause the liver to produce LDL.
They are little packages of cholesterol that travel around the body in the blood. Excess LDL lodges in the artery walls, causes more deposits

Your white blood cells then try to trap these cholesterol deposits. They usually don't succeed and end up building more trouble.
Then the muscle cells in the artery try to contain this deposit by forming a rough sheet over it.

Sometimes, these fat deposits can interrupt blood flow.
If it is in one of arteries in the heart, it can block flow.
If it's in your brain, it may lead to a drop in the person's thinking skills. (Your brain cells need the oxygen that the blood provides)

Sometimes, that tough cap I talked about breaks open and a clot forms around it and completely blocks blood flow to the heart or the brain leading to a heart attack or a stroke, which could kill a person or live them paralysed if nothing is done fast
To prevent this from happening
Control your weight, blood sugar, blood pressure etc
Exercise: least 40 minutes of aerobic activity (the kind that gets your heart and lungs pumping) three or four days per week.
Eat a healthy diet.
Don't smoke: Don't ask me smoke what please.

If you learnt something from this. Retweet the thread so others can pick one or two things.
You might help someone stop a bad habit that in turn helps them live a healthier life.
