| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.7 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:12.0 | Hi guys, in this video we're going to talk about the effects of high blood sugar on your |
| 0:24.8 | arteries and your vascular system. Do you realize that 70% of all deaths from diabetes |
| 0:31.5 | involved the vascular system? So that's why I'm doing this video because 70% of all deaths |
| 0:37.2 | from diabetes. That's a huge bunch of people. So why not talk about this specific thing? |
| 0:43.2 | Now there's a couple things that happen in relationship to high sugar and what it does |
| 0:49.2 | to the arteries. Number one, it makes the capillary walls thicker, okay? It makes the walls |
| 0:55.5 | of the blood vessels thicker. And the name for that is called arterial sclerosis, which is |
| 1:00.5 | hardening of the arteries and where the arteries become very stiff. So you're also going to see |
| 1:05.2 | high blood pressure because there's no elasticity anymore and you're going to see a demon in the |
| 1:10.1 | ankles and the feet. So if you were to press on the foot, it leaves a dent. It's called pitting |

| 1:29.6 | accumulating cholesterol deposits, protein and calcium as a band-aid to heal the area. But it forms |
| 1:37.6 | a plaque and that is called atherosclerosis, okay? Which blocks the coronary artery of the heart |
| 1:44.3 | and it's going to cause chest pain. It's called angina and diabetics are four times more likely to |
| 1:49.2 | develop just simply because high blood sugars and that's what a diabetic is. They have high |
| 1:53.6 | blood sugars. That's where I have to take medication. What's interesting to me is that if you look |
| 1:58.2 | up atherosclerosis, we would say the cause is unknown. They don't know what the cause is, okay? |
| 2:05.1 | But there's risk factors of diabetes and obesity and smoking and things like that. Well, |
| 2:10.7 | I want to show you my favorite book here called Sibba, Encyclopedia of Endocrinology, volume four, |
