I've known about inflammation being one of the major causes of arterial blockage for a number of years. Your podcast doesn't explain it, but let me give it a shot. This is my own theory. The inner lining of blood vessels is smooth muscle called endothelium. It is contractile tissue, and when someone is under a state of chronic stress, the tissue gradually becomes inflamed, due to being constantly contracted. The white blood cells come in to try to heal the injured cells, which results in a small little "blockage" in the vessel lining. This then picks up other cells passing by, causing a larger blockage. People need to know when they are stressed and mentally relax, or else their tissues are going to suffer. I hope people read this and learn to recognize their stress and chill out! Thanks.

I didn't really think they could do much of anything. I guess I was pretty wrong. I had never even heard of a free radical. Great job packing so much info into such a short time.

I am sometimes overwhelmed at all of the choices when it comes to what I should be eating and doing in order to maintain heart health. I am glad to know that Whole Foods provides not only great shopping but pertinent advice as well. Thank you for such an informative podcast.
