The growth of Plaque in the arteries and in your digestive tract has more to do with eating habits and particular foods high in cholesterol. Lots of cheese, Meat, Carbs and sugar all in combination paired with a sedentary lifestyle of not being active, Mostly staying stationary for years at a time, Is how this plaque builds up in the body. Inside the small intestine there are small fingers that absorb minerals and nutrients from the food you eat. Plaque can build up in these fingers and your food does not digest as well and your body starts storing this plaque. This builds up in the brain and affects your mental cognitive ability, And is bad for your health all around. Dieting with fiber, Eating whole food diets where you consume the whole vegetables, Help to scrub this plaque from the small intestine. Olive oil, Coconut oil, And fish oil help to loosen plaque from your arteries slowly over time. The body can immediately absorb and digest these oils for fuel, And do a great job initializing ketosis, Where your body is burning fat for energy. People with bodies that store fat are more likely to have issues with plaque buildup if they do not pay attention to their diet. People with too little body fat should pay attention to eating a high fat diet, Because when the body runs out of fat to use for fuel, It consumes muscle. Plaque buildup is not just from the food you eat, But the lifestyle habits you keep and occur over a long time of unhealthy habits.
