The idea of ​​cleaning arteries and thus counteracting atherosclerosis is widespread. However, despite many claims, there is no scientific evidence that atherosclerosis can be completely reversed. Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease in which deposits form in the walls of blood vessels and restrict blood flow. The coronary arteries are particularly affected, which leads to an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. #arteries #blood #health Cited studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34959... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37241... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35897... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33232... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27515... https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/1/1... ⏩ First inform yourself, then supplement: Feel free to take a look at my guides https://bit.ly/RatgeberHowTo ✅ ❎ 100% independent ❎ 100% study-based ❎ 100% medically correct Despite the many claims about cleaning arteries using ginger, garlic, apple cider vinegar and other remedies, studies show that although these foods support a heart-healthy diet, they are not able to clean calcified and clogged arteries. Instead, factors such as anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering properties of foods should be brought into focus. Preventing and slowing atherosclerosis requires a comprehensive approach. In addition to a healthy diet, exercise, stress reduction, sufficient sleep, little alcohol and not smoking also play a crucial role. It is also important to reduce high blood pressure and high LDL cholesterol levels. The limits of plaque removal Plaque removal is complex and presents challenges for medicine. While some studies indicate a reduction in the thickness of the vessel walls, there are currently no drugs or miracle cures that could completely resolve existing atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, certain measures such as taking statins and a heart-healthy diet can slow the progression of the disease. The importance of the right diet Choosing the right foods can have a positive influence on atherosclerosis. It is important to ensure that they have a low sugar content and a balanced fat intake. Foods with omega-3 fatty acids, phytochemicals and fiber from fruit, vegetables, fish and legumes can have an anti-inflammatory effect and slow the progression of atherosclerosis. Despite some promising approaches, no drugs have yet been developed that enable complete plaque dissolution. Manufacturers of dietary supplements use studies to support the effectiveness of their products, but the promises remain unproven. Maintaining heart health requires a long-term change in dietary patterns. A combination of a low-fat, vegetarian diet and cholesterol-lowering medication can help. However, it is important to realize that there are no cure-all foods and that a holistic approach with a healthy lifestyle and appropriate nutrition is required. ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With “Video Visit Dr. Weigl” you have found the current and medical-scientific channel that describes topics related to pain, #medicine and #health in an understandable way but based on facts, guidelines and studies. ▬ Even more videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The great danger of heart failure: http://bit.ly/Herzschwaeche_Video Heart attack: The nightmare of every second German: https://bit.ly/Herzinfarkt_Video Atrial fibrillation: When your heart loses its rhythm!: https://bit.ly/Vorhofflimmern_Video Stroke: First aid & saving lives in the event of a stroke: http://bit.ly/Schlaganfall_Video Our heart & circulatory system explained simply: https://bit.ly/Herz_Video ▬ Social Media ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►Facebook: https://bit.ly/facebook_DrWeigl ►Website: https://doktorweigl.de ►Twitter: https://bit.ly/Twitter_DrWeigl ►Instagram: / doktorweigl ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Legal notice / disclaimer: The videos are for your information only and never replace personal advice, examination or diagnosis by a licensed, qualified specialist.
