Cardiovascular disease is a group of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels. Many types of cardiovascular disease can be prevented or controlled by a change in lifestyle. For example, a person with high blood pressure can help lower his or her blood pressure by eating healthy foods, excessing, and avoiding salt. A person can reduce his or her risk of having clogged arteries by choosing healthy foods that do not contain too much fat. The causes of hypertension are; obesity, alcohol use, inactivity, smoking, excess salt in the diet, and age and heredity are also factors. Hypertension causes the heart to work harder and can lead to other cardiovascular diseases. Arteriosclerosis, also known as hardening of the arteries, is caused by a diet that is high in fat , especially cholesterol. it is a buildup of fatty deposits along the inner lining of arteries. Arteries become thick and lose their elasticity.

Arteries become thick and lose their elasticity. Atherosclerosis, also known as clogged arteries, is caused by a poor diet that is high in fat, especially cholesterol.
