What can i do to reduce the fat in my arteries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Placque not fat: If the "fat" you are talking about is cholesterol, then their are lots of suggestions. Exercise, weight loss and of course some excellent medicines designed to decrease the levels of bad substances that can "clog" the arteries of your heart, brain and body, reducing blood flow and causing problems. If not, then the fat clogs the arteries, gets calcium attached and causes atherosclerosis.
