The Best Foods to Clean Out Your Arteries

let's talk about the best foods that can help  clean out your arteries we're talking about a   problem that involves the inside of the layer  of your arteries it's called the endothelial   layer and if there's a dysfunction with this  layer you get inflammation and you also get   scar tissue fibrosis you also have calcium  buildup and cholesterol buildup and you can   also have a clot which is a little bit different  and one of the absolute best tests to figure out   what's going on on the inside of your arteries  is this right over here it's the coronary   artery calcification test or scan get it from your  doctor it's pretty quick it's not that expensive   it's way more valuable than a cholesterol  test because it's measuring the amount of   calcium buildup in your arteries which is  one of the best predictors or mortality   from all deaths so it's a really important test  it should be zero but sometimes it could be   100 200 500 700 even a thousand or more the key  is if you find that it's very high you want to   apply what i'm going to show you and then retest  it every several months and make sure it's going   down all right starting from number one you  want to make sure that your insulin is normal   okay you don't want it too high and you do that  by dropping your carbs so anything low carb   would be very very therapeutic to your arteries so  you want to do a low-carb diet ketogenic diet and   you want to do fasting okay very very important  because that will lower insulin insulin will cause   inflammation in the inside of the arteries and  the artery will become thickened and you may   even develop a clot there'll be inflammation  and something called age advanced glycated   end products that's a situation that occurs where  the inside of your artery the proteins become   unusable they're damaged and you get this  from consuming too many carbs and you can   also get it from consuming like too many  omega-6 oils which i'll mention a little bit   so this would be number one this is probably the  absolute most important thing you must handle this   or these won't really work number two you  want to consume foods high in vitamin k2   like nato which is a fermented soybean or  liver could be beef liver chicken liver eggs   definitely the yolk grass-fed butter grass-fed  beef sauerkraut maybe a little bit of hard or soft   cheese that has vitamin k2 the vitamin k2 is all  about keeping the calcium out of the arteries all   right number three this is not a food but it's a  very powerful antioxidant tocatrinos is different   than tocopherols this is the vitamin e complex  tocotrinols are 50 times stronger than tocopherols   now if you're consuming green leafy  vegetables you're going to get a good   amount of vitamin e so you can also do that but  if you actually have damage inside your arteries   tocotrinols would be something i would highly  recommend because they're very very powerful they   can stop the fibrosis or scar tissue from getting  any worse and it gets rid of free radical damage   all right number four decreasing omega-6 fatty  acids so you need to get rid of the soy oils the   corn oil the canola the cotton seed out of your  diet and replace that with omega-3 fatty acids   fatty fish salmon cod liver oil you can do walnuts  which has a precursor to omega-3 and also make   sure that if you're doing meats they're grass-fed  it has higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids   number five to decrease the stiffness of the  arteries which can then lead to high blood   pressure you want to have enough potassium  in the diet potassium keeps the arteries   nice and soft the problem is most people don't  consume enough salad or vegetable to be able to   have enough potassium and they're usually low  an average american has about one and a half   cups of vegetable per day when in fact they need  at least seven or more and so that will give you   the potassium to really help your blood pressure  you can also get it in a good electrolyte powder   now the other thing is vitamin d vitamin d is  very very important in keeping your blood pressure   low it supports this dysfunction in a very big way  it can help your arteries from a lot of different   angles so vitamin d it's almost impossible to get  it from food you can get it from fatty fish and   cod liver oil but the best way is through the sun  or supplement here's the thing you need about at   least 10 000 ius of vitamin d or even more to drop  blood pressure but you'll actually see that blood   pressure will come down when you take it so the  combination of potassium vitamin d is very very   powerful in keeping the arteries from being too  stiff now there's another um good remedy for high   blood pressure pomegranate okay you can get it as  a supplement or consume the seeds in your salad   it has great properties to lower blood pressure  so there you have it some foods to focus on to   keep your arteries clean hey before you  go real quick i have a course entitled   how to bulletproof your immune system it's a  free course i want you to take it and here's why   here's you here is your environment everyone  is
