- Do you know what to eat to prevent your arteries from clogging?
- Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood rich in oxygen throughout our body. Healthy arteries have smooth inner walls and blood flows through them easily. Some people, however, develop clogged arteries. Arteries can get clogged up and in way are like plumbing. With high blood pressure, inflammation causes cholesterol to stick or adhere to the walls of our blood vessels, forming a plaque. Clogged arteries greatly increase the likelihood of heart attack, stroke, and even death.
- Here are the 5 powerful foods that Dr. Oz recommends and that prevent arteries from clogging.
- 1. Kiwi and Cantaloupe
- Kiwi and Cantaloupe are Antioxidants-rich foods. They work by reducing toxic LDL Cholesterol, which is formed by a rusting process in your arteries. They can help stop the “rust” in its tracks and even prevent it from spreading.
- Eat 1 cup of cantaloupe or 1 kiwi a day to unclog your arteries.
- 2. Shrimp:
- Despite being a source of cholesterol, shrimps can be helpful for your heart. They contain Taurine, an Amino acid, which acts like plastic wrap so fats can’t cross the intestinal wall and get into your arteries.
- Try having 5 medium-sized steamed or grilled shrimp twice a week.
- Get from a reputable source and please do not get imported ones.
- 3. Red skinned grapes and Cranberry Juice:
- Red grapes and Cranberry juice strain the fat out your arteries. Instead of having fat build up in your blood vessels, these foods improve your cells’ ability to absorb the fat.
- Drink a glass of cranberry juice three times a week or eat 1 cup of grapes per day to unclog your arteries.
- For kiwi the little fuzz ball of energy.
