Al-Marsad Newspaper: A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food revealed that the power of apples helps reduce the buildup of plaque that clogs arteries and causes a heart attack.
The study showed that antioxidants such as polyphenols found in apples slow down oxidation and help prevent clogged arteries.
Apples are among the fruits that help promote heart health, so it is recommended to eat them or drink their juice daily to reduce the effects of harmful cholesterol.
And about other ways to open and clean the arteries:
1- Follow a healthy diet: Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, and good unsaturated fats such as olives, nuts, avocados and fish, helps in obtaining many nutrients that are beneficial for a healthy body.
2- Exercising: Daily exercise enhances the health of the heart and blood vessels, and prevents clogged arteries.
3- Quit smoking: Smoking contributes greatly to the incidence of atherosclerosis, which increases the accumulation of plaques, so quitting smoking helps to restore your health and raise the level of good cholesterol.
4- Reduce alcohol intake: Drinking too much alcohol can also affect heart health, so it is recommended to limit your consumption, according to the American Heart Association.
