When Blood Vessels Become Deadly

Your own blood vessels can turn into ticking time bombs inside your chest. Arteries are supposed

to be thick and strong to handle high pressure, but things like smoking and hypertension

weaken the walls until they balloon out into an aneurysm. If that pops, it is game over.

Then you have your veins, which are thinner and actually rely on your leg muscles

to milk blood back to the heart. If you sit too long, blood pools and forms clots that

can travel to your lungs. You literally have to keep moving, because once that

circulation stops, the tissue starts dying.
