Table of Contents


Clogged arteries or atherosclerosis is considered a major underlying cause of heart disease, including coronary artery disease, the most common type of heart disease in the United States.

Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of about 50% of deaths in Western countries.

How your arteries can become clogged

You’re more likely to develop atherosclerosis if you:

Featured on BlackDoctor
  • have high LDL (bad) cholesterol
  • have high blood pressure
  • smoke cigarettes
  • have diabetes
  • have a family history of atherosclerosis
  • have obesity
  • consume a poor diet
  • engage in a sedentary lifestyle

On the flip side, here are the drinks that clear out those arteries fast.

1. Garlic Juice

Garlic has been shown to be a natural way to clear blocks in the arteries, as well as reduce blood pressure and bad cholesterol levels. It can also reduce blood sugar levels, which aids in weight loss because when sugar levels are in normal ranges. It also makes it easier to control your appetite, which in turn aids in weight loss.

Ginger has been linked to the prevention of heart disease because of its ability to increase blood flow. It also has energy-producing capabilities that will help you to be more physically active, thus aiding in weight loss.

Lemon has been shown in research studies to regulate the heartbeat, restoring the proper function of the heart, helping blood to flow throughout the body more easily.

Apple cider vinegar has antioxidants that play a crucial role in removing toxins from the body and blood. It also has healthy vitamins, minerals and enzymes to keep the body healthy.

Honey fights bacteria, energizes the body and has been shown to reduce cholesterol and heart disease.

Ingredients:

1 cup ginger juice
1 cup garlic puree
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups organic honey

Directions

Extract the juice from the ingredients.
Put ginger, garlic, lemon juice and vinegar in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes while stirring.
Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Add 2 cups of honey and mix well.
Poor the mixture in a clean bottle and store in the refrigerator.

How to use it:

Take 1 tablespoon of the mixture each morning, afternoon and evening on an empty stomach. The mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two months.

2. Green Tea

Green tea can also help. Green tea contains high levels of catechins, which hinder the absorption of cholesterol during digestion. A 2011 review reported that green tea and its extracts could lower LDL cholesterol in the blood, though this did not affect HDL cholesterol.

People used green tea in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine to control bleeding and heal wounds, aid digestion, improve heart and mental health, and regulate body temperature.

Studies suggest that green tea may have positive effects on weight loss, liver disorders, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and more.

In countries where green tea consumption is high, some cancer rates tend to be lower.

Drinking other teas, such as black tea, rooibos tea, or ginger tea may be good heart-healthy substitutes as well.

3. Pomegranate and Cranberry Juice Mix

Pomegranate is a fun fruit that contains phytochemicals that act as antioxidants to protect the lining of the arteries against damage. Pomegranate juice stimulates the body’s production of nitric oxide, which helps to keep your blood flowing and your arteries open.

That combined with cranberries can help tremendously.

Cranberries are another antioxidant-rich food that can reduce LDL and raise HDL cholesterol levels. In fact, regular consumption of pure cranberry juice may help reduce your overall risk of heart disease by as much as 40%!

4. Heart Wine

This recipe is over 1000 years old invented by Abbess Hildegard. It’s been known to clean arteries and improve heart health because of the properties that red wine has.

Red wine, in limited amounts, has long been thought of as healthy for the heart. The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks. Antioxidants in red wine called polyphenols may help protect the lining of blood vessels in the heart. A polyphenol called resveratrol is one part of red wine that’s gotten noticed for being healthy.

Ingredients:

1 Large bunch of Parsley
1 Bottle of Red wine
3 Tablespoos Red Wine Vinegar
350 grams of Pure Honey.

Directions

Place all ingredients, except the Honey into a saucepan and heat to boiling point but then simmer for 10 minutes. Add the honey and simmer for another 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain liquid into a STERILE bottle. Then store in a cool place, a fridge is ideal.

How to Use It:
Take 2 Tablespoons in large glass of water each day

5. The Super Smoothie

Fresh, dark berries always have had good health benefits, so this smoothie combines all of what’s good with berries plus the health benefits of dark greens. Dark greens are rich in vitamins and minerals that can help prevent the build-up of plaque in the arteries. They are all packed with antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup blueberries
1/3 cup strawberries
1/3 cup raspberries
1/3 cup spinach
1/4 cup kale

Directions:

Blend together and drink immediately once a day.

6. Tomato Juice

Tomatoes and tomato products contain plant compounds that may be particularly helpful for reducing the development of atherosclerosis.

Tomatoes contain the carotenoid pigment lycopene. Studies show that consuming lycopene-rich tomato products may help:

  • reduce inflammation
  • boost HDL (good) cholesterol
  • reduce the risk of heart disease

Combining cooked tomato with olive oil may offer the greatest protection against clogged arteries.

7. Arjuna bark tea

Arjuna bark tea is a classic Ayurvedic solution for heart vitality and is brewed from the bark of the Arjuna tree. It has known heart-protective characteristics.

How it works:

It Lowers Bad Cholesterol
This tea contains potent compounds that help to control and lower the quantity of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, notoriously known as bad cholesterol. With consistent consumption, this tea can reduce plaque accumulation in your arteries and promote heart health.

It Enhances Good Cholesterol Levels
Besides suppressing bad cholesterol, Arjuna bark tea amplifies the High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or good cholesterol. This elevation in good cholesterol aids in flushing the bad cholesterol from the arteries and maintains the cholesterol balance in the body.

This tea rejuvenates the heart muscles, boosts blood flow, and minimizes cholesterol levels. To prepare, boil a teaspoon of the dried Arjuna bark in water for about 10 minutes. Enjoy this revitalizing tea twice daily.
