3. Vitamin E (Tocotrienols)
Vitamin E is essential for protecting your heart and cardiovascular system. A vitamin E deficiency can increase your blood pressure, stressing the arterial walls and making them more susceptible to damage and plaque buildup.
To help unclog your arteries, take up to 300 mg of tocotrienols daily. Tocotrienols, which are part of the vitamin E complex, are significantly more potent than the tocopherols found in regular vitamin E supplements.
Also consume foods rich in vitamin E such as sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, avocados, olive oil, chard and green leafy vegetables.
4. Aged garlic extract (Allicin)
Garlic is one of the most beneficial foods because it contains
allicin, a natural sulfur compound that helps reduce arterial calcification. Consume raw garlic daily to help control your blood pressure, lower high blood sugar, and prevent arterial calcification.
If you don’t like the taste of garlic, you can take up to 2400mg of aged garlic extract daily.
5. Vitamin C (Complex)
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient to consume regularly through plant-based foods such as salad leaves, vegetables, berries, and fruits. It helps strengthen collagen in your arteries, keeping them flexible and allowing for normal blood flow.
Eat foods rich in vitamin C, such as cabbage, sauerkraut, strawberries, bell peppers, and cruciferous vegetables. Avoid store-bought “ascorbic acid” vitamin C supplements, as they contain only a small portion of the true vitamin C complex. If you do take a supplement, choose whole-fruit powders like acerola cherry or rosehips.
