    Engaging in regular physical activity, such as participating in sports, is known to have a positive impact on cardiovascular health and can help reduce the risk of developing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD).

    Coronary Heart Disease is when a waxy substance of _____  builds up within the coronary arteries

    • Blood

    • Fat

    • Plaque

    • Potatoes

    Correct Answer
    A. Plaque
    Explanation
    Coronary Heart Disease occurs when a waxy substance called plaque builds up within the coronary arteries. Plaque is made up of cholesterol, fat, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, this plaque can harden and narrow the arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This can lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and even heart attacks. Therefore, the correct answer is "plaque".

    A. By having the clots removed by surgery
    A. Medication Prescribed
    A. Continually exercising
    Explanation
    Coronary Heart Disease can be treated through a combination of methods. Surgery can be performed to remove clots that may be causing blockages in the arteries. Medication can also be prescribed to manage symptoms and prevent further complications. Additionally, continually exercising is important as it helps improve cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of developing or worsening heart disease. However, eating fatty foods is not a recommended treatment for coronary heart disease as it can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries.
