Whole Grains
Whole grains have soluble fiber, which binds to the excess LDL cholesterol in the digestive tract and removes it from a person’s body.
They also contain magnesium, which will dilate your blood vessels and keeps your blood pressure regular.
The AHA recommends six daily servings of whole grains, so trade in your carbs for some whole-grain alternatives like whole-grain bread, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, barley, quinoa, and oatmeal to improve those cholesterol levels and keep your clogged arteries clear.
Some final thoughts: Making these changes to your diet can majorly improve your overall health and prevent your arteries from blockage.
Luckily, these options are delicious and provide unlimited new recipes and creativity opportunities. Not sure if you’re at risk or already have some artery blockage? Schedule a check-up with your doctor to be sure!
