Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood filled with oxygen throughout the entire body. Daily consumption of foods that are rich in saturated and trans fats, as well as the ones that increase the blood pressure and cholesterol, results in plaque build up in the arteries. The plaque narrows the arteries and reduces the blood flow, or even worse – blocks it altogether. And when that happens, in most cases a heart attack or stroke (even death!) occurs.
To prevent this from happening, you need to:
- stop smoking (or at least limit it) and avoid drinking too much alcohol
- avoid sugary drinks and foods
- limit your red meat intake
- include more fruits and vegetables in your diet
- eat more beans and whole grains
- cook your food in extra virgin olive or coconut oil
- drink 1-2 cups of green tea (use honey to sweeten it) and pure organic cranberry juice
- consume a few nuts every day
But, if your arteries are already clogged, then this natural remedy will help you get rid off the plaque faster than any medication.
Have you ever heard of fenugreek seeds? No? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. Even though they are not very popular, they are extremely beneficial and heart-healthy.
Many studies have showed that fenugreek seeds has the ability to lower the “bad” cholesterol, therefore preventing many heart diseases. It is also a rich source of fiber, which helps clear the blood vessels from plaque. By unclogging the blood vessels, the risk of having a heart attack or stroke is significantly reduced.
You can prepare the fenugreek seeds on two ways:
#1 – soak 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds in water overnight. In the morning, eat them on an empty stomach.
#2 – put 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds in 1 glass of water and boil them for 5 minutes, then strain. Let the mixture cool off for a few minutes, then add honey in it. Drink 1-2 glasses of this drink daily for a couple of months and you will feel a major difference in your health!
