The Best MEAL to Clear Out Your Arteries
This may be the best meal to clean out your arteries and decrease your risk of heart disease! If you want to prevent heart attacks, clogged arteries, and heart disease, diet is key! Add these foods for blocked arteries to your diet today!
let’s talk about the best meal that you could eat to help reduce plaquing in your arteries or even help prevent cardiovascular disease now I’ve done a lot of videos on what to avoid to prevent heart disease today I’m going to primarily focus on what to eat okay but we first have to give you a little background of what is going on behind the scenes as far as a cardiovascular disease and primarily we’re going to talk about plaque now what is in plaque plaque is a combination of calcium protein and cholesterol many times the calcium is the result of biofilms so what’s the biofilm it’s a colony of microbes that these microbes have built these little calcium igloos or shells to protect themselves so they can go underneath the radar so when you see calcium plaque in the arteries underneath that plaquin there could be a microbial community and biofilms 10 to accumulate on roughened edges right if the arteries were nice and smooth and strong they probably would never accumulate on the arteries but the question is what causes them to get stuck on the inside of the artery wall and your coronary artery for example well that would be some type of um I call that lesion or oxidation or inflammation or damage from you know excessive sugar in the diet it could be your diabetic you could be a pre-diabetic it could come from omega-6 fatty acids junk Foods alcohol all sorts of things so when you see plaquing you’re also going to see this LDL a very specific kind the small dense particle size and that’s correlated too with a high sugar high carb diet and some of this cholesterol in this little package and that’s what the LDL is It’s A protein that carries cholesterol cholesterol doesn’t exist as cholesterol in the arteries like free-floating it’s always in a little shuttle bus but the cholesterol is coming in the form of Band-Aid with this cement the the calcium and then also you’re going to get a fibrous tissue like a protein seen cement that kind of mixes in with the calcium and the cholesterol as a Band-Aid and then you’ll see like um a thrombus or a clot forming two in that same area so given that information what can we do to prevent slow down or reverse this situation all right there’s several things to know about this um one of the controlling vitamins with calcium is vitamin K2 vitamin K2 drives the calcium into the bone without enough K2 calcium tends to develop in the soft tissues of the body not just your arteries but also in the joints as well and there’s one more point about biofilms there’s some interesting things about biofilms especially when we’re dealing with plaquing in your arteries there’s several studies that I found that links periodontal bacteria the bacteria in your mouth this pathogenic bacteria actually ending up in the plaquing in your arteries I mean that’s interesting because what are these uh periodontal bacteria they’re pathogenic they’re in your mouth doing in your heart okay now you have to realize like in the mouth you have over 700 different species okay not just bacteria but different types of bacteria in your mouth and one of the reasons why the bacteria can actually go through the pores uh through your gums and into your bloodstream is the same reason why bacteria can leak from your intestines into your bloodstream that’s called bacterial translocation where bacteria is moving through the wall they might get bleeding gums so that allows the microbes to go right through these little holes into your bloodstream so high vitamin C foods are definitely necessary for this meal so foods with large amounts of vitamin C would also be a good thing then we have vitamin E okay vitamin E in relationship to keeping your cardiovascular system intact is very very important first of all it helps prevent those lesions on the inside of the um the wall of the artery called endothelial tissue when you’re low in vitamin E which is a very powerful antioxidant you can get a lot of oxidation and inflammation so vitamin E is very important also it’s important in the heart muscle itself keeping your oxygen high and preventing an actual heart attack so we have vitamin K2 very important vitamin C very important and vitamin E and the other important thing with the heart especially to avoid that lesion in the artery is to keep your omega-6 fatty acids very low and keep your omega-3 very very high so a really important thing in this meal should be omega-3 fatty acids okay all right so what should this Meal look like well let’s start from the top omega-3 fatty acids okay what food is very very high in omega-3 and that would be wild caught salmon so if you include salmon in this meal okay you’re going to have a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids which is going to support the arteries as well as the heart muscle itself and having enough omega-3 will decrease your inflammation as well in your arteries and doing that can actually lower blood pressure as well all right there’s something else that I think is very very important in preventing and even maybe reversing some of this plaquing in the arteries this thing has like seven times the requirements of vitamin C it also is one of the most microbial dense foods that you can eat giving you a strong probiotic effect with high levels of lactic acid bacterium now let me just kind of discuss lactic acid bacteria it’s not just one bacteria it’s a group of many different types of bacteria that is usually involved in fermentation and so the food that I’m talking about is sauerkraut okay that is a fermented cabbage product and sauerkraut is loaded with this lactic acid bacteria and lactic acid bacteria as a standalone thing is very interesting because it can act as an Ace inhibitor to help lower blood pressure it can inhibit biofilms which is very very cool it can decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease by supporting your gut there is a huge relationship between a healthy gut with the right microbes and a healthy heart also this lactic acid bacteria can help regulate LDL cholesterol especially the small dense particle size LDL and having enough of this lactic acid bacteria can enhance your production of secondary bile salts which can help the absorption of more vitamin E vitamin D and vitamin K2 all three of those are fat soluble and can greatly support the cardiovascular tissue and it just so happens that sauerkraut is loaded with vitamin K2 now normally vitamin K2 is in like certain hard cheeses fats but microbes can also make k2 just to summarize what sauerkraut is it’s a superfood for the heart it supports the gut lining to prevent this these microbes from traveling through a leaky gut up into the heart it has many different diverse types of microbial entities that can greatly help you in many different ways and then sauerkraut is loaded with vitamin K2 to keep the calcium out of the arteries it’s loaded with vitamin C like I said before seven times the RDA so that gives you a tremendous amount of vitamin C that can directly inhibit biofilms as well as act as an antioxidant in your arteries preventing these lesions or damage to the wall of the arteries remember the biofilms can only stick to an area that’s roughened or irritated so if your arteries are smooth they can’t quite stick to the inside of your arteries to form the plaquing in the first place in the last part of this meal is a big arugula salad with several things in it which I’m going to cover but arugula as a vegetable is a superior salad green compared to regular lettuce because first of all it’s cruciferous so it’s really good for the liver it’s bitter it has blood glucose lowering properties it’s loaded with something called dim which can help lower biofilms directly it also
