Wonderful Ways Your Body Changes When You Quit Smoking

Lowers The Risk Of Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease is a condition in which cholesterol builds on the walls of the arteries. This narrows the arteries and, as a result, restricts blood flow to the heart! Individuals who smoke are at an increased risk of coronary artery disease because of their increased blood pressure and risk of blood clots. They are also not able to exercise as much, which is harmful. In addition, if they are not following a healthy diet, their risk will increase even more. Ultimately, individuals who smoke have, on average, a seventy percent higher risk of developing coronary artery disease. Even though their risk is incredibly high, they can make it drop dramatically within twenty-four hours of quitting smoking. They will not, however, be at the same level of risk as someone who never started smoking for a long time. They can, however, get there!
