10 Everyday Foods That Could Help Unclog Your Arteries and Prevent Heart Attacks

Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. Over 350,000 people died in 2014 alone according to heart.org, and more women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined. Heart disease is known as the silent killer. It sneaks up on you and knocks you down when you least expect it. The good news is you can prevent yourself from becoming one of those statistics by making simple, healthy lifestyle choices. NaturalOn have produced a list of healthy foods known to keep your arteries from clogging up. Read below to find out more and please share this article.

Although no one likes to think about it, heart disease is the number one killer in America. It’s called the silent killer because most people have no idea that they have heart disease until it’s too late. Heart disease occurs because of a buildup of plaque in the arteries that lead to your heart. When this occurs it’s called atherosclerosis. When we are born, our arteries are smooth and flexible. As we age, they can become more narrow and hard. This means that the heart does not get the blood flow that it needs. It becomes damaged due to a lack of nutrients and oxygen.

How do our arteries become blocked? Through the increasing deposits of cholesterol-laden plaque. As the plaque builds up over the years, it inflames the blood vessels.

Although many people have no idea they have a problem until they have a heart attack, there are some warning signs you should pay attention to, including:

• Shortness of breath, especially when doing something simple, such as walking
• An increased heart rate
• Irregular heartbeats, or a flip flop feeling in the chest
• Dizziness, weakness
• Nausea
• Sweating

  If you experience any of these symptoms, you should see a doctor right away to rule out heart disease.

There are ways to help avoid this problem, however. Getting older does not mean you are forced to accept heart disease, blood clots, or a heart attack.

The foods on the following list contain plenty of the antioxidants, soluble fiber, and healthy fats that are good for your heart, as well as promoting other healthy functions in the body including proper hormone production, nutrient absorption, and an improved immune system function.
