Are My Arteries Clogged?
In many cases there are no symptoms of clogged arteries until there is a severe amount of
damage already done.
When the artery is blocked by 70% of more, you may experience chest pain, shortness of
breath, heart palpitations, dizziness or nausea and sweating.
If you are concerned, ask your doctor for a quick CAC test.
This is a very simple X-Ray which checks to see if there is any calcified plaque in the
arteries surrounding your heart.
What Causes Clogged Arteries
The main cause of clogged arteries is eating too many refined foods, alcoholic drinks,
sugar and junk foods for many many years.
Not eating enough leafy green vegetables can also cause clogged arteries, because your
body needs Vitamin C and potassium from vegetables to protect the endothelial cells in your arteries.
What happens is, the walls of your arteries start to become weaker and begin leaking fluid.
This triggers your immune response, making the arteries become inflamed and swollen from
the inside.
What About Cholesterol?
Your body sends in cholesterol, proteins and calcium to try and patch up the damaged areas
in your arteries.
Cholesterol is essentially used as a band-aid to patch up the area and protect it from further
damage.
Unfortunately if you continue to eat unhealthy foods, toxins and alcohol, the band-aid gets
thicker and thicker, causing the arteries to become more clogged.
This eventually leads to a heart attack if it’s in the main coronary artery, a stroke
or a blood clot.
How To Reverse Clogged Arteries
There are 3 steps that you can take to start improving your lifestyle and cleaning out
your arteries.
1.
Cut back on refined foods such as sugar, vegetable oil, alcohol, soda drinks and flour based
foods like bread, cereal, biscuits, pancakes, crackers etc..
These foods trigger inflammation in the arteries and start the chain reaction that leads to
plaquing and clogging.
Start eating lots of leafy green vegetables instead such as brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli,
cauliflower and cabbage.
These supply lots of Vitamin C to help heal the arteries and reduce stiffness.
2.
Reduce Stress.
When we are stressed, our bodies release a hormone called cortisol.
Too much cortisol over time has been shown to damage the arteries and raise the risk
of heart disease.
Taking long walks in nature of at least 45 minutes per day is one of the best ways to
reduce stress.
Getting more sleep and eating nutritional yeast daily also improves brain chemistry
to ease stress and anxiety.

Top 4 Nutrients For Clogged Arteries
Now, we will take a look at the 4 key nutrients that you can focus on to help unclog your
arteries and restore your overall health.
We will also share some of the best supplements that you can take.
4.
Vitamin C The Vitamin C complex is found in leafy green
vegetables, fruits, herbs and fermented foods.
A deficiency In Vitamin C is one of the main causes of arterial plaque, because its needed
to protect and strengthen the walls of the arteries from oxidative damage.
Vitamin C helps your body to build collagen for the cell walls of the arteries, which
keeps them elastic and prevents stiffness in these blood vessels.
Vitamin C also helps to prevent clots from breaking off and triggering a heart attack
or stroke.
If you wish to take a supplement, avoid regular 'ascorbic acid' versions as these are not
the true form of Vitamin C.
You want a food based supplement made from either Acerola Cherry or Rose Hips.
These are fantastic for improving your antioxidant network in the body and protecting against
cardiovascular disease.
5.
Vitamin K2 If you wish you can take a daily supplement
of Vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7.
This is a powerful nutrient which helps to remove calcium plaque from the arteries, and
move it into the bones where it belongs.
This can make you arteries more elastic, so that the blood can flow freely from your heart
and move oxygen around your body.
You can also get Vitamin K2 from pasture raised eggs, beef liver, and a fermented Japanese
food called Natto.
6.
Vitamin E Vitamin E is another key nutrient when it
comes to protecting the heart muscle from cramping.
People with clogged arteries usually develop a Vitamin E deficiency, which can lead to
angina and chest pain.
Getting more Vitamin E in your diet reduces the amount of oxygen that your muscles need,
which takes stress off the heart.
Vitamin E has also been shown to help grow new blood vessels around blocked arteries
to bypass the damaged areas.
It also helps to widen the arteries to prevent blood clots, and is involved with building
red blood cells.
You can get Vitamin E from almonds, sunflower seeds, leafy greens, avocados and egg yolks.
As a supplement, we recommend Annatto, the richest known source of Vitamin E for supporting
healthy arteries and the cardiovascular system.
7.
Omega-3's.
To reverse inflammation and the underlying causes of clogged arteries you need to start
getting more omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.
These oils are anti-inflammatory and will help to protect you against death from heart
disease.
Most people consume too many omega 6 fatty acids which cause inflammation in the arteries.
These come from vegetable oils, margarines and easy spreads and fast foods.
Switch these out for healthier cooking oils like extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil.
The best natural sources of active Omega-3s is oily fish like salmon, sardines and mackerel.
You may also take virgin cod liver oil as supplement.
By focusing on improving your diet and getting more of these 4 nutrients, your body will
begin to heal itself naturally and repair existing damage in your arteries.
Clogged arteries are one of the leading causes of death in the world, so it's vital that
you take action steps to improve your health and correct your diet if you have this.
Remember that supplements are not a magic pill, you must change your lifestyle if you
wish to see long term improvements.
Summary
Clogged arteries are caused by living an unhealthy lifestyle, drinking, smoking and eating inflammatory
foods for many years.
To reverse these and improve the health of your heart and circulation, switch out junk
foods and eat more foods rich in Vitamin C, E, K2 and Omega-3 fatty acids.
