Things to Do to Reduce Plaque in your Arteries

  • Lower your carbohydrates to improve your insulin levels. We get high amount of carbohydrates from sugar (or sugar based foods) and all kinds of grains. High insulin causes a massive amount of inflammation throughout your body, which can contribute to clogged arteries and clots. High insulin can also cause AGEs (advanced glycated end products), which is a situation where the proteins inside your arteries become damaged. The first thing you need to do is normalize your insulin levels. Increase your vegetable intake and include high protein foods in diet.
  • Do Intermittent Fasting.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Sleep well.
  • Avoid snacking in between meals.
  • Eat foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids or use supplements. Use healthy unrefined fats, including fatty fish (such as salmon), cod liver oil, walnuts, and grass-fed meats. A good omega-3 to omega-6 ratio helps supports cardiovascular health.
  • Maintain optimum vitamin D3 levels in blood.
  • Take Vitamin K2 supplement. Consume foods rich in vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 lowers the amount of calcium in your blood and transports it to your bones. If you take vitamin D3, make sure you take it with vitamin K2.
  • Increase your potassium. Potassium helps keep your arteries soft and not hardened. Eat a lot of vegetables to get the daily recommended dosage of 4.2 grams or supplement with Potassium Citrate under the guidance of an expert.
