Clogged arteries refer to a condition in which fatty plaque deposits
within an artery leading to the heart or brain, limit blood flow. This
increases the risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases, such as
atherosclerosis.
When the plaque forms on the inner walls, the arteries become clogged and
inhibit blood flow. The plaque is made of different substances that circulate in
the blood such as fat, cholesterol, calcium, cellular waste and fibrin. There are
natural remedies that help rid the arteries of these various bulky items.
1. Olive oil:
Olive oil, especially extra-virgin olive oil, is good for heart health. It is rich in
antioxidants called polyphenols, as well as monounsaturated fats.
The unique combination of antioxidants and healthy fats help reduce LDL (bad
cholesterol) and improve your HDL (good cholesterol) level.
So, to cure plaque build up in the arteries, use extra-virgin olive oil for cooking
and for making salad dressings. You can even use olive oil instead of butter in
many food preparations.
In some cases, it is better to consume raw, because by heating the olive oil, it
loses its properties and decomposes. The heat destroys its molecular order to
the point of turning this fat poison for our health.
2. Garlic:
An easy and effective way to clean your arteries naturally is to include garlic in
your diet. According to a study conducted at the Center for Cardiovascular
Pharmacology in Mainz, Germany, researchers found that regular
consumption of garlic can help prevent hardening of the aorta.
Garlic improves the health of your arteries by reducing LDL cholesterol. The
study also concluded that garlic has benefits for the cardiovascular health of
the elderly.
So, eat 1 to 4 cloves of raw garlic a day. You can also include garlic in soups,
stews, ready meals and salad dressings. You can even try a garlic
supplement if you do not like it. However, always consult your doctor for
advice on dietary supplements.
3. Oats:
Because of its high fiber content, eating oats also helps clean the arteries. It
envelops cholesterol molecules to purify the arteries.
