Solution

Calcification in artery:

  1. Calcification of arteries means calcium building up in the blood vessels or arteries in the heart.
  2. Calcium building leads to the formation of plaque in the arteries.
  3. Plaque formation can cause the hardening of arteries, and blockage in the arteries leading to heart attack due to a poor supply of oxygen.
  4. Calcification can occur due to a high cholesterol-rich diet, or pressure.

Reversing of calcification in arteries:

  1. A balanced diet is the main factor to control calcium deposition in the body.
  2. Daily exercises can also reduce the build-up of calcium and cholesterol.
  3. Better lifestyle and healthy habits are the main possible way of reversing calcification in arteries.
