High Cholesterol Too much consumption Usually has no Prevention:

Atherosclerosis/Arteriosclerosis
- makes the arteries hard caused by high
consumption of a fatty diet that leaves fat
deposits on the lining of the blood vessels.
These fat deposits make the arteries rigid.
 Heart Attack
- is caused when the heart is blocked from
blood supply due to a blood clot.
 Myocardial ischemia

- the buildup of fat deposits congests the

blood flow to the heart.
 Heart Failure
- the unstable behavior of the heart
cannot pump sufficient blood for the
body’s needs.
 Stroke
- can happen if a vessel that supplies blood
to the brain either becomes blocked by a
blood clot or bursts. These stop blood flow
and prevent oxygen from getting to the brain.
 High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

-the elevation of blood pressure

in the vessels gets too high that
it can trigger other diseases.
 Anemia
-the insufficient supply of red blood cells in

the blood can make you feel easily tired.
