The Standard American Diet does a lot of harm to the human body. All of the meats, processed foods, greasy fast foods, refined sugars, refined carbohydrates, and GMOs have contributed to the increased percentage of people with heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Even though there are foods that can clog arteries, there are also foods that can help clean them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An artery is muscular-walled tube, belonging to the circulatory system, which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to other parts of the body. However, plaque can build up inside the arterial walls, which can cause inhibited blood flow<\/strong>. Plaque is comprised of things like fat, cholesterol, calcium, fibrin, and cellular waste, all of which circulate in the blood. When arteries get clogged or blocked, people can develop coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, or carotid artery disease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To help keep your arteries clean<\/strong>, you may benefit from eating the foods in the list below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For the most benefits, make sure you buy cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, which is full of mono- and polyunsaturated fats<\/strong>. A recent study found that people (ages 65 and up), who regularly used olive oil, were 41% less likely to have a stroke compared to those who used canola oil, vegetable oil, or butter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
