your arteries, narrowing the channel for blood to flow through and
spiking your blood pressure.

These arterial plaques secretly lining your veins and clogging your
arteries are made of fats and cholesterols held together by a fibrin
mesh. Fibrin is a protein used to repair wounds, deposited while
the area remains in an inflammatory state – your body’s natural
response to injury, making chronic inflammation a leading risk
factor for heart disease.

Which is why if high blood pressure or your cardiovascular health
are a concern, you need to understand that the conventional advice
to follow a low-fat diet actually increases your risk because it
replaces fats in your diet with additional inflammatory carbs.

Once allowed to build up, if a significant chunk of that arterial
plaque breaks off it can partially or completely block the blood
supply to vital organs like your heart, brain and other areas of your
body. Depending where that plaque lodges and blocks blood flow,
the symptoms can range from angina to heart attack, TIA to stroke,
peripheral arm and leg pain to erectile dysfunction.

That’s why maintaining high levels
of proteolytic enzymes throughout
your body is absolutely critical
for your cardiovascular health.
They not only help prevent arterial
plaque from forming by putting
the brakes on runaway chronic
inflammation, they also help
remove plaque that has already
accumulated by breaking down
the fibrin mesh holding the plaque
together.
