SEPTEMBER 20, 2024

Greetings! Welcome to the Physiology Friday newsletter. This week, I’m sharing one of my favorite articles I’ve ever written. I published it a few years ago, but since then have gained quite a few new subscribers. If you’re new, I hope you enjoy it for the first time. If you’re a long-time reader, I hope you re-enjoy it! I’ll be back next week with the usual coverage of a brand-new study.

Preventing heart disease is possible. You just need to know how. To prevent heart disease, you need to know what causes it, how to measure the relevant factors and what to do about them. When we say heart disease, what we really mean is plaque in the artery wall. This Is Known As Atherosclerosis. The fundamental cause of atherosclerosis is when a cholesterol particle crosses into the artery wall from the bloodstream, gets stuck, and sets off an inflammatory process 1.
