Everybody knows that a sound heart is pivotal for a healthy life. Unfortunately, too many people use to eat foods rich in cholesterol and with high fat content which significantly contribute to clog the arteries. As a result, a smooth blood flow in one’s body is seriously endangered. If this issue isn’t dealt with in time, it will lead to severe health issues such as high cholesterol level, high blood pressure and heart attack. Against this background, it should become the highest priority that a “barrier-free” blood flow is always maintained. The following 10 plant-based foods will make sure that this is guaranteed!
“Nature has created numerous natural foods that can help us maintain our good health, detox it and prevent numerous diseases. Thus, it also contains foods which can help you unclog your arteries and promote heart health!
These foods are the following:
Green Tea
This tea is rich in catechins, which impede the cholesterol absorption during digestion. Therefore, the consumption of 1-2 cups of green tea will prevent the blockage of arteries and enhance the blood-lipid levels. It will also stimulate your metabolism, promote heart health and help you lose excess weight.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate includes phytochemicals which have antioxidant properties and prevent damage of the lining of arteries. Its juice triggers the production of nitric oxide, which keeps the arteries open and supports the blood flow!
Turmeric
Turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, and it alleviates inflammation, which is the greatest cause of arteriosclerosis — the hardening of the arteries.
Therefore, its introduction in your regular diet will reduce the risk of blood clotting and it will lower the damage to arterial walls.
Avocados
You can add some avocado to your vegan burgers and sandwiches. According to researchers, it daily use will improve your blood cholesterol, as it will reduce LDL, and elevate HDL cholesterol levels.
The latter helps the arteries to prevent obstructions.
Broccoli
Broccoli is high in vitamin K, which prevents calcium from damaging the arteries, and it also includes fiber, which reduces blood pressure and cholesterol.”
