    Unlock the power of 5 artery-protecting foods that Keep Your Arteries Healthy & Young - استخدم قوة ٥ أطعمة تحافظ على صحة الشرايين و بقاء شبابها


    Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood, which is distributed throughout the body, high up from the brain to the toes.

     

    The presence of healthy arteries means reducing the possibility of heart attacks and strokes, especially the integrity of the brain arteries and the coronary arteries that feed the heart muscle.

     

    Arteries Healthy Mekdar Waleed Foad Walaa Foula

     

    According to the British Heart Foundation, there are those who have blocked arteries or atherosclerosis and are simply not aware of it.

     

    They only realize this once symptoms such as angina pectoris or severe shortness of breath appear, with the inability to move.

     

    Unfortunately, the first time someone realizes they have narrowed arteries is when they have experienced something like a stroke or heart attack.

     

     

    Before you start freaking out, don't worry.

     

    There are a few simple things you can do, and they largely have to do with your diet.

    Now, here are some foods that can help you keep your arteries healthy and reduce the possibility of health problems in the future.

     

    1 - Fish.

    The first food you should start consuming more is fish.

    Fish contains a lot of healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

    These fatty acids are known to have positive effects on cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, and thus have effects on arterial health.

    The American Heart Association recommends eating two servings of fish per week, especially fatty fish.

    Some fatty fish that you can trust are anchovies, mackerel, salmon, sardines, and tuna.

     

     

    2- Citrus fruits and Pomegranate.

    Fruits contain vitamins, such as vitamin C and folic acid, carotenoids, flavonoids, potassium, and fiber.

    Reports have shown that these substances protect against high blood pressure and atherosclerosis by reducing low-density lipoprotein oxidation, and preventing increases in homocysteine and platelet aggregation.

    In a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology, it was found that consuming citrus fruits frequently may reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, especially cerebral infarction, or brain stroke, in both men and women.

    Therefore, we recommend eating citrus fruits at least once a day, and remember that an orange between meals is a light, delicious and healthy snack.

     

    Pomegranate also, in addition to its pleasant taste, has some health benefits for the heart and arteries, as a study found that the substances derived from pomegranate positively affect the function of the cells lining the arteries, and contribute to regulating blood pressure.

     

    3 - Flax seeds.

    If you are not a fan of flaxseeds, you should start getting used to it.

    Whether flaxseeds in their ground form or flaxseed oil, they have a lot of health benefits, one of which is helping with arterial health. That's because flaxseeds contain omega-3 fatty acids and alpha-linolenic acid.

    A study published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology concluded that flaxseeds can have powerful beneficial effects in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.

    Another study indicated that dietary flaxseed showed strong protective effects even in those already suffering from symptoms of cardiovascular disease.

     

     

    4 - Walnut.

    Scientific evidence published since 2017 is consistent with previous research indicating that nut consumption improves blood lipid profiles and is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.

    So if you enjoy eating nuts, focus your attention on nuts. It has a lot of benefits!

     

    5 -Turmeric.

    Curcumin has a long history of use in ancient medicine, where it has been used in various medicinal treatments as well as food coloring as the "golden spice".

    According to the results of hundreds of studies, curcumin is useful in the prevention and treatment of many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, allergies, asthma, inflammatory diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders.

    So when it comes to arterial and heart health, turmeric should be your best friend.
