The best smoothie for your arteries
Arterial plaque is a thickening of arteries transporting blood to various organs. It is a major cause of high blood pressure and heart attacks as well as strokes. Insulin resistance and diabetes are major contributors and as plaque builds up, arteries lose their flexibility causing a surge in blood pressure. Eating healthy, avoiding sugar and carbohydrates, exercising regularly and lowering stress levels are all necessary factors for living a healthy life, reversing diseases and avoiding complications as we age.
However, due to the complications of modern life, we are predisposed to high sugar levels and stress. It takes a lot of determination and willingness to improve health to be able to live a healthy and disease free life.
To aid in the cleansing process and avoid or delay the process of arterial plaque buildup, there are some natural foods and spices that can assist in the cleaning and actually do wonders. I have compiled such a smoothie given below which will help clean and keep your arteries healthy.
Smoothie Recipe:
1” piece of fresh Turmeric ( ½ tea spoon Powder if not available)
5 Pieces of Black Peppercorns
1 Pinch Red Cayenne Pepper Powder
1” piece of Ginger
1 Lemon whole (preferably organic otherwise use the juice)
1 Apple whole with peal
1 spoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Spoons Apple Cider Vinegar
Blend in a smoothie mixer and consume whole (without filtering). Best taken in the morning before breakfast. Black coffee without sugar and milk can also benefit heart function.
Remember the first organ to form after conception are the arteries and are nearly 100,000 kilometres long performing transportation of hormones, enzymes and many other functions besides blood and oxygen transportation. It is our duty to protect and help our arteries perform at their best in the interest of our long term health.
