This Drink Will Unclog Arteries and Protects Against Heart Diseases

Heart disease has become quite a problem in the US today. Hypertension stretches blood vessels and artery walls. Unfortunately, it increases cholesterol levels as well.

High cholesterol is a major contributor to the occurrence of heart disease, because fats from the food you eat tends to accumulate in the lining of the blood vessels.

These fatty deposits form an atheroma, which is sort of a deposit. A layer of deposit forms on top of the atheroma. The deposit triggers an inflammation in the blood vessel wall.

 

The plaque is actually a ticking bomb, because it poses a threat of sudden rupture.

The body is designed to repair tiny ruptures by producing life-threatening blood clots. But, there is a great possibility that these clot may restrict the artery or flow down the artery and block it at its narrowest spot. Minor plaque also increases the risk of sudden heart attack.

You can control your LDL levels in several ways. First, introduce some healthy dietary habits. Eat more foods that are low in fat and high in fiber. Make sure your food provides enough antioxidants.

Raisins are low-fat food, and they are abundant in antioxidants and fiber. These have shown to prevent and reduce the accumulation of bad cholesterol, and thus protect the blood vessels.
