HOW OBESITY DESTROYS YOUR HEART.

   
As your Body Mass Index rises, so does your risk of Coronary Heart Disease.(CHD).
Coronary Heart Disease is a condition in which a waxy substance(fats) called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries.These arteries supply Oxygen rich blood to your heart.When these plaques narrow or block the coronary arteries and reduce blood flow to the heart muscles,this can cause Angina(severe chest pain) and can lead to Heart Failure.This is a serious condition in which the heart can't pump blood to meet your body's needs.The unexpected may occur if no urgent intervention is initiated.
