Atherosclerosis

Imagine trying to use a straw to drink a thick milkshake, but you find that the straw is clogged with bits of fruit and chocolate. This is similar to how atherosclerosis works, where fatty deposits build up on the walls of your arteries, much like how the milkshake debris obstructs your straw. Just as the clogged straw makes it difficult for the milkshake to flow smoothly, the plaque in your arteries restricts blood flow, potentially leading to health issues.
