7 Simple Ways to Unclog Your Arteries Naturally

 

7 Simple Ways to Unclog Your Arteries Naturally

We all want to live a long life, but did you know eating these simple foods has been proven scientifically to prevent and in some cases reverse the #1 cause of death in the modern world?

 

Statistically, atherosclerosis (the progressive clogging of the arteries) is the #1 killer on the planet. A complex process, involving autoimmunity, infection, dietary incompatibilities, and many known and unknown factors, it is entirely preventable, and in some cases reversible –  despite conventional medical opinion.

 

Here is the peer-reviewed, published research proving the fact.

B Vitamins

Yes, something as simple as adding a source of B-complex to your regimen can prevent the juggernaut of heart disease from taking your life prematurely.  A doubled-blind, randomized study, published in 2005, in the journal  Atherosclerosis  found that a simple intervention using 2.5 mg folic acid, 25 mg Vitamin B6, and 0.5mg Vitamin B12 for 1 year, resulted in significant reductions in arterial thickness (as measured by intima media thickeness)  [1].  Even niacin  [2][3]  or folic acid  [4][5]  alone has been show to have this effect in patients.

[Note: Always opt for natural sources of the B-group vitamins, including probiotic supplementation (which produce the entire complement for you), or a whole food extract, versus synthetic or semi-synthetic vitamins which, sadly,  predominate on the market today].

 

Garlic

As we have documented extensively at GreenMedInfo.com,  garlic can save your life. It has been found to regress plaque buildup in the arteries, among many other potentially life-saving health benefits.[6]

 

Pomegranate

This super healing fruit has been found to regress plaque buildup in the arteries  [7][8]  as well as being demonstrated to provide dozens of validated health benefits,  including  the ability to  replace  the function of the mammalian ovary!

 

Fermented Cabbage

Kimchi, a Korean recipe, which includes fermented cabbage, hot pepper, and various other ingredients, including fermented fish, appears to stall the atherosclerotic process in the animal model.[9]  Additionally, strains of good bacteria in kimchi have been found capable of  degrading toxic chemicals that can additional bodily harm.

 

L-Arginine

This amino acid is capable of preventing arterial thickening – up to 24% reduction! — in the animal model  [10][11].  At GreenMedInfo,  We have done an extensive literature review on arginine supplementation and have found that in over 30 studies demonstrating this fact addition to  150 known health benefits, it is capable of addressing the underlying dysfunction associated with cardiovascular disease: endothelial dysfunction, with  no less than 20 studies proving this fact.

 

Turmeric (curcumin)

The primary polyphenol in the Indian spice turmeric known as curcumin has been found to be an excellent cardioprotective, with over  30 studies demonstrating this fact. One study found that curcumin prevented damage to the arteries associated with blockage (neointima formation).[12]

 

Sesame Seed

Probably one of the most underappreciated super foods on the planet, sesame seed, which we have shown is  as  effective as Tylenol for arthritic pain, may be an excellent cardioprotective substance, ideally suited for preventing the progression of atherosclerosis. One animal study found it was capable of preventing atherosclerosis lesion formation.[13]

 

The Final Word

This is a small sample of evidence-based natural interventions for cardiovascular disease prevention and/or regression. At GreenMedInfo, we have compiled a much larger set of studies on over  200 natural substances  capable of reducing the risk of heart attack and related heart disease related conditions.

Remember, heart disease is not a natural process that we must accept as inevitable based on family history or  an outdated gene-based model of human disease risk. Our daily decisions, especially regarding what we eat or do not eat, are first and foremost. We can use food as medicine, sloughing off the pharmaceutical industry meme that we need  statins to stave off the ‘inevitable’.

Take back control of your health with nutrition, and realize that food is the only medicine that will both nourish us and heal our bodies in a way that will produce lasting health.
