Our arteries are an important and delicate system necessary for the body’s daily functioning and for the proper circulation of blood from one organ to another.
What happens when they become blocked?
When arteries become blocked, it indicates that some part of our body is not functioning well. What happens is that the arteries experience a decrease in oxygen circulation and blood flow; moreover, during this irregular process, plaque accumulates in the arteries surrounding the heart. Therefore, this is not simply an artery that requires attention, but a bigger problem that could cause damage to our cardiac system.
What can you do to clean your arteries?
First, you should know that if you have an artery with severe blockage, you will inevitably need surgical intervention. After you learn the condition of your arteries, it will be important to follow some natural steps and recipes that we offer here.
The food we eat daily can be harmful to our health and can gradually clog the walls of the arteries until blood flow to the heart and from the heart to other organs is completely blocked. In the following article, learn about some natural remedies and foods to clean your arteries.
The best foods to clean arteries
- Garlic: Have you seen how many properties garlic has? It appears on most home remedy lists due to its excellent health benefits. This is because of its antioxidants that combat damage in the body, helping reduce fat levels in the arteries (Low-density lipoproteins, LDL or “bad” cholesterol). At the same time, it raises levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL – High-density lipoproteins), reduces blood pressure, and improves blood flow. You can consume it raw or cooked in countless dishes.
- Oats: Low in carbohydrates and absorbs up to seven times its weight in water. It is widely used in snack industries, bakeries, desserts, and meats. This simple food reduces the ability of cholesterol to “stick” to artery walls, preventing arteriosclerosis and reducing the risk of heart disease.
- Pomegranate juice: Researchers in Naples (Italy) and Los Angeles (California) demonstrated that the high antioxidant content of pomegranate juice surpasses any other fruit or ingredient, even blueberries, oranges, and blackberries (some of the best available). It combats damage in 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 decrease the risk of heart attack by 50% when consumed regularly.
- Fatty fish: Contains Omega-3 fatty acids (very popular these days), which our body needs for proper function and help unclog arteries. Examples of fatty fish include sardines, anchovies, trout, tuna, mackerel, and salmon.
- Nuts: High in monounsaturated fats and Omega-3 fatty acids. Other recommended nuts include almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, and pecans. They can be consumed as starters, snacks, or appetizers to help curb hunger, in sweet and sour salads, desserts, and many dishes.
- Olive oil: One of the most “powerful” foods available. It should be extra virgin and cold-pressed to retain its properties. It adds flavor to your meals and reduces the risk of heart disease. Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat, so it is less likely to become saturated. “Oxidized” cholesterol is what forms plaque that sticks to artery walls.
- Avocado: This fruit has a large amount of monounsaturated fats, which are not oxidized in the body, so they do not increase the risk of arteriosclerosis or plaque buildup in arteries.
- Tomato: Rich in lycopene. This antioxidant reduces the chances that “bad” LDL cholesterol will oxidize and stick to arterial walls. Include raw tomatoes in your meals every day.
- Spinach: There’s a reason Popeye always ate them for strength. Spinach contains large amounts of vitamins A and C, which prevent cholesterol oxidation, reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis. It belongs to the group of leafy green vegetables (like Swiss chard or lettuce) that offer great benefits to our body.
- Whole grains: Such as brown rice, rye or whole wheat bread, and oat flour. They are excellent for cardiovascular health due to their soluble fiber content, which helps reduce bad cholesterol and prevents plaque formation in arteries.
- Asparagus: One of the best cleansers for blood and arteries. It also lowers blood pressure in veins and prevents the formation of harmful and even fatal blood clots.
