Arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is a condition in which plaque builds up inside your arteries making them narrowed and less flexible. There are a number of things you can do to prevent or slow the progression of arteriosclerosis, including eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and not smoking.
Preventing arteriosclerosis is important because it can lead to a number of serious health problems, such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure.
