Heart Blockage: In today’s time, cases of heart blockage are increasing rapidly among young people. Due to poor lifestyle, mental stress and unhealthy eating habits, this problem is no longer limited only to the elderly. Talking about the main causes of heart blockage, consumption of junk food, oily foods, refined sugar and processed food increases bad cholesterol and triglycerides in the body, which leads to formation of clots in the arteries. Apart from this, working sitting at one place all day long and not exercising slows down the metabolism, which affects the efficiency of the heart. In such a situation, according to Dr. Bimal Chhajed, a famous cardiologist and founder of ‘SAOL’, the plaque and blockage deposited in the arteries can be controlled and reduced to a great extent with the right diet and lifestyle. Dr. Bimal Chhajed has told about some foods, by consuming which heart blockage can be easily removed.
Beetroot
Beetroot has been considered a superfood. It is considered very beneficial for health. It produces nitric oxide which removes our blockage and widens the tubes. Due to which blood flow improves. Consuming it also keeps blood pressure under control.
berries
Berries are considered an excellent source of antioxidants. The anthrocyanin present in it widens the heart tubes. It is also considered helpful in controlling blood pressure.
Garlic
The compound ‘Allicin’ found in garlic widens the blood vessels and makes the blood flow smooth. Chewing 1-2 cloves of raw garlic on an empty stomach in the morning reduces the risk of formation of clots and plaques in the arteries.
Turmeric
‘Curcumin’ present in turmeric is a powerful anti-oxidant. It helps in keeping the veins healthy by preventing internal inflammation and accumulation of fat in the arteries.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate contains abundant amounts of polyphenols and anti-oxidants, which protect the inner layer of the arteries. Its consumption slows down the process of hardening of the arteries.
cinnamon
Cinnamon is effective in reducing triglycerides and cholesterol levels. It helps in controlling blood pressure and improving the functioning of the arteries.
