Your arteries are your body’s largest blood vessels, and they are in charge of delivering oxygen and nutrients to every organ, tissue, and cell. It would be an understatement to say that keeping these vital channels in good working order is critical for your health. The following foods can help clear arteries for optimum performance:
Spinach.
Organic spinach is a good source of magnesium. To function properly, every cell in your body requires magnesium.
This nutrient is necessary for muscle tissue and nerve repair, glucose metabolism, insulin response regulation, and is especially important for the heart.
This is due to the role of magnesium in the biochemical reactions that cause your heart to beat.
People with higher magnesium levels have fewer cases of hypertension, stroke, and diabetes, according to research.
In contrast, magnesium deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), endothelial dysfunction (damage to the arterial lining), and sudden cardiac death (SCD).
Spinach contains nearly 40% of your RDV and is also high in other nutrients. Experts believe that up to 80% of the US population is magnesium deficient.
Magnesium is also found in pumpkin seeds, lima beans, almonds, avocados, and dark chocolate with 75-85% cocoa.
Green Tea.
This is the only drink you will ever require for total body wellness. This ancient beverage does more than just improve brain function and protect against neurodegenerative disease and cancer.
Any green tea will do as long as it is loose leaf and organic. Black tea and oolong tea are also beneficial to the heart.
People who drank more than five cups of green tea per day had a 26% lower risk of death from heart attacks and strokes than those who drank less than one cup per day, according to the findings of a study of 40,530 Japanese adults.
Catechins, polyphenols found in tea leaves, combat oxidative stress and inflammation, two major underlying causes of many diseases, including heart disease. The main active catechin in green tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
Three cups per day has been shown to reduce artery hardening, cholesterol levels, and inflammation overall.
Things you start noticing when you have clogged arteries
Atherosclerosis is caused by the accumulation of fat and other substances in the arteries, which causes them to stiffen and narrow. It could have been progressing for years before you notice symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
According to Mayoclinic, the following symptoms indicate that you have fatty deposits in your arteries (blocked arteries).
Shortness of breath.
Breathlessness may be a sign of clogged arteries. Patients frequently do not consider shortness of breath to be a significant symptom, but in those with cardiac risk factors and without lung disease, it may be the only indication of serious coronary artery disease that requires medical attention.
Pain while walking.
Walking with a clogged artery may cause pain in the legs or hips. Similarly to how artery blockages in the heart can cause heart attacks, artery blockages in the legs can cause pain when walking. When you stop moving around, you don’t need as much oxygen, and the pain goes away.
Additional symptoms of a clogged artery may include:
- Feeling dizzy or weak.
- Palpitations – feelings of your heart racing or fluttering.
- Sweating or nausea.
- Breathing difficulty./SHARE THIS
