8. Prevention
It is not possible to keep yourself completely safe from atheromas. However, we are able to live our lives in ways that can help to reduce the likelihood that serious atheromas will develop. This generally means making lifestyle decisions that will help you to live a healthy life overall.
One of the best decisions anybody can make is to abstain from smoking. This is for many other reasons in addition to preventing atheromas. It is also important to eat the right diet, particularly avoiding trans fats and saturated fats. Plenty of fruit and veg is also recommended, as is getting plenty of exercise.
