@drdavidabbasi: Actually, food CAN fill that void...😳 Just not the way your friend meant it. What you are looking at is cholesterol plaque building up inside an artery and yes, what you eat has a direct relationship with how much of that yellow waxy buildup is accumulating in your blood vessels right now. Here is the thing though. Cholesterol itself is not the villain. Your body actually needs it to build cells, produce hormones, and make vitamin D. The problem is not cholesterol existing, it is having too much LDL, the bad kind, circulating long enough to start depositing itself along your artery walls. At that point it stops being essential and starts being a liability. The difference between cholesterol doing its job and cholesterol ending your life is almost entirely about balance and what you consistently put in your body over time. Cholesterol has one of the worst public relations teams in history. Essential molecule by day, arterial nightmare by excess. It is like that one coworker who is genuinely useful but has absolutely no idea when to go home. ✅Follow @drdavidabbasi for More Daily Medical Content & Health Tips!🌴😷Schedule a consultation in Delray Beach!
