Having clogged arteries can cause, for example, a heart attack. Therefore, it is very important to keep them “clean” and “unclogged” for a better quality of life.
The food we eat every day can be harmful to health and block the walls of the arteries until it completely blocks the blood flow to the heart and from this organ to others. In the following article, take a look at some natural remedies and foods to clean the arteries.
The best foods to clean arteries
Fatty fish: contains Omega-3 fatty acids (which are so popular today), which our body needs for proper functioning and also help to unclog arteries. Among the options for fatty fish are sardines, anchovies, trout, tuna, mackerel, and salmon.
Walnuts: are high in monounsaturated fats and Omega-3 fatty acids. Other recommended nuts include almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, and pecans. They can be eaten as appetizers, snacks, or in salads, desserts, and other dishes.
Pomegranate juice: Researchers from Naples (Italy) and Los Angeles (California) demonstrated that the high levels of antioxidants in pomegranate juice surpass those of any other fruit or ingredient, even blueberries, oranges, and blackberries (the best available). It fights damage to the arteries and arteriosclerosis.
Apple: This delicious fruit is high in pectin, a fiber that binds to cholesterol to reduce it. It also contains flavonoids, which reduce the risk of heart attack by 50% when consumed regularly.
Olive oil: another of the most “powerful” foods available. You should consume it extra virgin and cold-pressed to preserve its properties. It adds flavor to your meals and preparations while reducing the risk of heart disease. This is because olive oil is a monounsaturated fat, so it is less likely to become saturated. “Oxidized” cholesterol can form plaques that stick to the walls of the arteries.
Avocado: This fruit contains a large amount of monounsaturated fats, which are not oxidized in the body and therefore do not increase the risk of arteriosclerosis or plaque buildup in the arteries.
Tomato: Rich in lycopene. This antioxidant reduces the chances of “bad” LDL cholesterol oxidizing and sticking to arterial walls. Include tomatoes, preferably raw, in your daily meals.
Spinach: Popeye was right! Spinach has a high content of vitamins A and C, which prevent cholesterol oxidation and reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis. It belongs to the group of leafy greens (such as chard or lettuce) that provide great benefits to our bodies.
Whole grains: such as brown rice, rye or whole-grain bread, and oat flour. They are excellent for cardiovascular health.
Garlic: Have you seen the many benefits garlic offers? It is present in most home remedy lists for its great contributions to health. This is due to antioxidants that combat damage in the body, helping to reduce fat levels in the arteries (LDL or “bad” cholesterol). It also increases HDL cholesterol levels (“good” HDL) and reduces blood pressure and blood flow. You can consume it raw or cooked in a variety of dishes.
Oats: It is low in carbohydrates and absorbs up to seven times its weight in water. It is widely used in snacks, bakery items, desserts, and meats. This simple food helps reduce the ability of cholesterol to “stick” to arterial walls, preventing arteriosclerosis and reducing the risk of heart disease.
thanks to its soluble fiber content, which helps lower bad cholesterol and prevents plaque formation in the arteries.
Asparagus: It is one of the best blood and artery cleansers available. It also helps release blood pressure in veins and prevents the formation of harmful and even deadly clots.
