In this video, we’re going to talk about the clogged artery myth. When it comes to clogged arteries, most people focus on cholesterol. They want to lower their cholesterol by eliminating things like fat, butter, eggs, and animal meat. I want to talk about some additional data that has to do with the chain reaction that occurs before cholesterol enters your arteries.
The first thing that happens is you get this thing called a lesion. This leads to an inflammatory state in the lining of the muscle of the artery. This doesn’t happen in your veins because you don’t have the same muscle tissue. When lesions happen, cholesterol comes by to fix it, acting as a bandaid.
Not all cholesterol is bad. In fact, your body makes a ton of it—more than 3,000 mg a day. Keep in mind that an egg only contains 300 mg of cholesterol. If your body makes so much, why is it considered bad? It’s not. Every cell wall is made from cholesterol. Hormones, specifically sex hormones, are made from cholesterol.
Artery plaque is mostly made of three things:
• Calcium
• Fibrin
• Cholesterol
However, this only happens when there’s damage or inflammation happening in your arteries. The key is to reduce the inflammation, so your arteries do not need “bandaids.”
The biggest causes of inflammation are:
• Stress
• Insulin
• Omega-3 Fatty acid deficiency
• Smoking
• Harsh chemicals
Get rid of inflammation, and the arterial plaque will go down.
