Arteries are the bodies highways

Introduction

The human body is a perfect mechanism in which all the pieces fulfil an important role. The arteries make up an important part of it. Unfortunately, few people truly pay attention to them and make sure they’re healthy. However, if they get blocked, you’re going to have a real problem. In today’s post, we’re bringing you four natural remedies that will help unclog your arteries.

The arteries are shaped like tubes. Blood passes through them from the heart to the other organs. When they become clogged or blocked by fat in the form of cholesterol that’s inside them, diseases develop. Therefore, it’s essential to make sure this doesn’t happen to us.

Dangerous Consequences of Clogged Arteries

The obstruction of the arteries is a “silent killer” because people don’t realize that they have a problem until they suffer the consequences.

Blocked arteries, restrict blood and oxygen flowing through them. As a result, your organs and tissues will not receive the nutrients they need. This can trigger consequences like:

  • Heart Attacks
  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Strokes
  • Coronary artery conditions
  • Peripheral arterial disease.

Who is most likely to be affected

Who ?

Because of their lifestyle, sedentary people, smokers, and people who have a bad diet and are obese, have a very high risk of suffering from this disease. The problem is that it’s difficult to unclog these people’s arteries because of their habits. In addition, those with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and those who suffer from arthritis, may also suffer from this condition. And older adults are especially vulnerable as they age.

Then, you have to integrate more fresh foods into youe diet (fruits, vegetables, legumes, etc.) and replace harmful fats with healthy sources of fat.

All this, in addition to the consumption of the following foods that we’re going to mention below, is what could help unclog arteries.

Five
  • Garlic. It’s said that it cleanses our arteries of bad cholesterol (LDL).
  • Oats. This is a very complete cereal and reduces the odds that bad cholesterol (LDL) will adhere to the arteries. With its intake, you’ll avoid suffering from cardiovascular diseases and arteriosclerosis.
  • Spinach. It’s said that this is a food that prevents cholesterol from oxidizing, thanks to its high vitamin A and C content. Other green leafy vegetables with the same properties are lettuce and chard.
  • Nuts. They’re rich in monounsaturated fats and omega-3, two essential components to unclog arteries. You should choose walnuts, peanuts, almonds, and hazelnuts. In addition, they’re satiating.
  • Apple. This is a fruit rich in nutrients such as pectin, a fiber that lowers blood cholesterol. It also helps reduce the risk of heart attacks by 50%, since it’s rich in flavonoids.

Four natural remedies to unclog your arteries

1. Garlic milk,

Garlic milk is a drink made from fresh garlic cloves. They shouldn’t be crushed. Instead, add them whole.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of milk (250 ml)
  • 3 garlic cloves

Preparation

  • First, cut the garlic cloves into slices.
  • Put the milk in a pot, add the garlic slices, and bring it to a boil.
  • Wait for it to cool and drink

2. Golden milk

Golden milk is well-known in alternative medicine. People have attributed it anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, which is why it’s believed that it can relieve certain discomforts, while promoting blood flow, thus helping to prevent the formation of clots and avoiding arterial obstruction. It can also help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL).

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric (5 g)
  • Honey (25 g)
  • A glass of milk (250 ml)

Preparation

  • Heat the milk and add the turmeric and honey.
  • Mix well and drink.

3. Cayenne pepper tea

To unclog your arteries, cayenne pepper is a great option. It contains antioxidants that will help improve blood circulation and prevent cardiovascular problems. Additionally, it’ll effectively fight cholesterol oxidation in your blood vessels.

  • 1 cup of hot water (250 ml).
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (5 g).

Preparation

  • Heat the water. When it boils, remove it from the heat and add the cayenne pepper.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes. When it reaches a bearable temperature, drink it

4. Linseed tea

This is also very effective for fighting cardiovascular diseases. Linseed has anti-inflammatory properties thanks to their high content of fatty acids, like alpha-linoleic. That’s why they help clean the arteries, while also preventing the oxidation of cholesterol inside of them.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of hot water (250 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons of linseed (30 g)

  • Soak the linseed in water over night.
  • The next day, strain the seeds and drink the liquid, preferably on an empty stomach.
