The correct answer is "fat."
When you consume too much fat, especially unhealthy saturated and trans fats, it can lead to the buildup of fatty deposits called plaque in your arteries. This process is known as atherosclerosis. Over time, this plaque can narrow and harden your arteries, restricting blood flow to your heart.
When your arteries become clogged, it increases the risk of a heart attack. The heart muscle relies on a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients carried by the blood. If the blood flow is reduced or blocked due to clogged arteries, it can lead to a heart attack, where a portion of the heart muscle becomes damaged or dies.
It is important to maintain a healthy and balanced diet by limiting the intake of unhealthy fats and choosing healthier options such as lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight also play a significant role in reducing the risk of heart disease.
