10 Signs You’re Living with Clogged Arteries

  • Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood throughout the body. They carry blood to the brain, all major and minor vessels, to the muscles, and even to the tips of the fingers and toes. In healthy arteries, blood flows freely because they have smooth walls and are free from obstructions. However, clogged arteries have a buildup of atherosclerotic plaque on their walls. This plaque restricts blood flow and can even block it completely, leading to a heart attack. (1)
