Sometimes the kind of food you eat has a desperate effect to your body
system and more especially your m*nhood. Heart researchers have found
that a low-fat vegan diet is the best diet for lowering cholesterol
levels. Plant foods contain no cholesterol, whereas meat, eggs, and
dairy products contain large amounts of cholesterol and saturated fats,
which can cause arteries to become hard and clogged. Plus, the high
fiber content of a vegetarian diet helps eliminate excess cholesterol
from the digestive tract.
Garlic
Garlic can help treat a slew of viruses, infections and even cancers!
Studies show that consuming 4,000 mcg of the compound allicin (found in
1-4 cloves of garlic a day) can lower cholesterol, as well as
significantly decrease both diastolic and systolic blood pressure, and
prevent blood clots from forming. Load up on your daily dose of cloves
with this Creamy Zinger Garlic Spread or Pumpkin Seed and Garlic Pasta.
Turmeric
Curcumin, the main component of Turmeric, is a powerful
anti-inflammatory. Adding turmeric to your diet can seriously reduce
inflammation and damage to arterial walls which are leading causes of
plaque build-up and blood clots.
Spinach
Spinach is rich in lutein, a plant carotenoid, which not only protects
against age-related macular degeneration, but may also help prevent
heart attacks by keeping artery walls clear of cholesterol build-up.
Spinach is also high in potassium and folic acid, both of which are main lines of defense against high blood pressure.
Cinnamon
You’ve probably heard that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go
down. But did you know that a spoonful of cinnamon makes your risk of
heart disease go down? Just one tablespoon of ground cinnamon per day
can work to reduce cholesterol levels while at the same time clearing
and preventing plaque build-up. Cinnamon is also full of antioxidants
which further improve cardiovascular health by protecting blood from
damaging oxidation.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate and its juice are high in antioxidant content, which may
help fight hardening of the arteries. pomegranate juice not only appears
to prevent hardening of the arteries by reducing blood vessel damage,
but may also reverse the progression of this disease. The tests showed
that pomegranate juice reduced the effects of stress on human blood
vessel cells by stimulating the production of nitric oxide. This
chemical is thought to help keep arteries open and keep blood flowing.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in carotenoid lycopene, the compound that gives
tomatoes their colour — an antioxidant that can significantly lower your
risk of atherosclerosis by 50 percent. lycopene may help to prevent
hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis. In the study, researchers
found that women with the highest lycopene levels in their blood had the
least stiffness in their arteries and women with lowest lycopene levels
had the most.
Berries
Berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and
blackberries) are rich in antioxidant flavonoids (such as anthocyanins)
that can help prevent artery hardening and help to scour plaque from the
walls of the arteries.
Apples
Apples contain ‘pectin’, a soluble fibre that lowers cholesterol,
probably by interfering with the intestinal absorption of bile acids,
which forces the liver to use circulating cholesterol to make more bile.
They also contain quercetin, potassium and magnesium which help keep
your blood pressure under control. Other pectin-rich fruit include pears
and citrus fruit.
Avocado
The next time you make a sandwich or salad, consider adding a few slices
of avocado in lieu of mayonnaise or heavy salad dressing. Studies have
shown that the daily consumption of avocado result in improved blood
cholesterol with a decrease in triglycerides and LDL of around 22% and
an 11% increase in HDL – the “good” cholesterol that helps to keep
arteries clear of obstructions.
Orange Juice
Drinking just two cups of 100% orange juice (no sugar added) every day
can help to improve blood pressure and reduce inflammation of arteries.
Also, orange juice is full of antioxidant vitamin C which helps to keep
arteries clear by preventing oxidative damage in the blood stream.
