Lots of factors affect the health and function of your blood vessels. Before we dive into specific factors, let me share some practical ways to think about these risk factors.

3 key ways blood vessels become damaged
Generally, what is bad for blood vessels will fall into one of the following three categories:

A form of inflammation: “Inflammation” basically means that aspects of the body’s immune system are revved up. In the short-term, this helps fight infections, but in the longer-term, this actually creates a fair amount of wear and tear on cells in the body. Inflammation can also cause the blood vessels to build up plaque.
Inflammation is manifested in the body in many different ways. These include having higher levels of certain proteins, such as C-reactive protein, and/or by the increased presence of certain types of white blood cells.https://rehab2research.com/how-to-manage-12-cardiovascular-risk-factors-for-brain-health/
