🩸 Why Fat Blocks Blood Vessels
(Post-COVID Explained Simply)
This fast AMP infographic explains blood fat in a calm, easy way — inspired by AARP clarity.
❓ Fat cannot dissolve in blood
Blood is Water-Based
Fat cannot mix with water, so it cannot travel alone in blood.
Fat Joins Protein
Fat combines with protein to form a carrier called lipoprotein.
🧬 What is inside this fat carrier?
Triglycerides
Made from excess sugar, rice, sweets, and alcohol.
Cholesterol
Needed in small amount, harmful when excess sticks to vessels.
Protein
Acts like a vehicle carrying fat inside blood.
🚫 How vessels get blocked
Too Much Sugar
Liver converts sugar into triglycerides.
Fat Clubbing
Fat-protein particles stick to vessel walls.
Reduced Blood Flow
Raises risk of heart attack and stroke.
⚠️ Why this increased after COVID-19
• COVID caused long-term vessel inflammation
• Steroid use raised sugar and fat levels
• Lockdown reduced physical activity
• Post-COVID fatigue slowed metabolism
Result: More Indians now have dangerous blood fat levels.
