How fast food can cause cardiovascular diseases?

Cardiovascular diseases are caused by the use of tobacco, the lack of exercise and unhealthy diets (which is eating too much fast food). Cardiovascular diseases include heart attacks, strokes, raised blood pressure, heart diseases and heart failure. Cardiovascular diseases are one of the number one causes of death because they mostly died from heart attacks and strokes. In 2005, about 17.6 people have died from this disease.

The main reason that causes strokes and heart attacks is because there is something that is blocking or preventing your blood to run to your heart or brain. If your blood vessels will become narrower and less flexible your blood vessels will become narrower and most likely that will block our blood clots. Then the blood won’t reach to your heart and brain it would become damaged.

You may be thinking what are some symptoms of these diseases? Symptoms of heart disease include pain in the center of your chest, or pain in the arms, left shoulder, elbows, jaw, or back. People may have difficulty in breathing, vomiting, feeling light headed, and becoming pale. The symptom of a stroke is weakness of the face, arm, leg, often on one side of the body, can’t speak well or understand what people are trying to say, hard to see things, may become dizzy, lose your balance, and fainting.
