In this audio, we’re going to talk about the best foods to clean out your arteries.

The most inner part of your arteries is called the endothelial layer. If there is a dysfunction with this layer, you can develop inflammation. In turn, this inflammation can cause scarring, calcium deposits, and cholesterol deposits to build up.

A CAC (coronary artery calcification) test is the absolute best way to detect the state of your arteries. Get one of these tests and, if you have signs of build-up, clean up your diet with the tips below. Have a CAC test every few months until the problem is resolved.

Here are the best things you can do to clean out your arteries:

1. Lower your carbohydrates and do intermittent fasting to improve your insulin levels. High insulin causes a massive amount of inflammation throughout your body, which can contribute to clogged arteries and clots. High insulin can also cause AGEs (advanced glycated end products), which is a situation where the proteins inside your arteries become damaged. The first thing you need to do is normalize your insulin levels.

2. Consume foods rich in vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 lowers the amount of calcium in your blood and transports it to your bones. If you take vitamin D3, make sure you take it with vitamin K2. Natto, liver, eggs, butter, grass-fed beef, cheese, and sauerkraut are great sources of vitamin K2.

3. Take tocotrienols. Tocotrienols are a form of vitamin E, which is 50X more effective than tocopherols. This is a powerful antioxidant that can help reduce inflammation and promote a healthy cardiovascular system.

4. Increase omega-3 fatty acids, and lower omega-6 fatty acids. Cut the soy oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, and other vegetable oils out of your diet. Instead, replace them with healthy fats, including fatty fish (such as salmon), cod liver oil, walnuts, and grass-fed meats. A good omega-3 to omega-6 ratio helps supports cardiovascular health.

5. Increase your potassium. Potassium helps keep your arteries soft and not hardened. 7-10 cups of vegetables a day are vital to maintaining healthy potassium levels.

Pomegranate is a great remedy for high blood pressure

Additionally, vitamin D is important for lowering your inflammation. Get plenty of sunlight or take a vitamin D3 supplement.

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 inside of your arteries is 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 tell you and then retest it after every several months and make sure it's going down. All right starting from number one. 

Numerb 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 therapeutic to your arteries. So you want to do a low-carb diet i.e. ketogenic diet and you want to do fasting. Okay, 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 tocotrinols. It 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 then 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 amount 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.

Americans has about one and a half cup of vegetable per day. When in fact they need at least seven or more. So that'll 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 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 is almost impossible to get 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 10000 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 with the combination of potassium. Vitamin D is very powerful in keeping the arteries from being too stiff. Now there's another one 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. Before you go real quick I have a course entitled :
