Your arteries should be sturdy, springy, and smooth to move blood easily from your lungs and heart, where it gets oxygen, to your organs and other tissues. High blood pressure, or HBP, pushes too hard on your artery walls. This damages the inside and causes fat, or plaque, to collect. That plaque makes your arteries more stiff and narrow, so they cant do their job as well.
