Arteries carry oxygenated blood and nutrients necessary for life from the heart to the rest of the body. This is the reason why it is important to keep the arteries healthy. Due to bad eating habits, lack of exercise, etc., cholesterol, fat and particles start accumulating in the arteries, which leads to the formation of plaque in the veins. This can mostly be due to the consumption of things like meat, dairy products and eggs in large amounts.
