A health expert has identified a specific superfood that he claims clears arteries "better than aspirin". Blockages in your arteries can lead to strokes, heart attacks or other health issues – it’s crucial to keep them clear for your health. Dr Eric Berg DC, a ketosis specialist and renowned health educator with 13.5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, has shared the benefits of this number one food.
TL;DR
- Dr. Eric Berg identifies cod liver oil as the best natural food for unclogging arteries, claiming it's 'better than aspirin'.
- Cod liver oil is rich in EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid that reduces triglyceride levels, decreases non-HDL cholesterol, and makes platelets less sticky.
- EPA can help prevent blocked arteries by reducing inflammation and stabilizing arterial plaques, with potential mood-boosting effects.
- Cod liver oil also contains vitamins A and D, which aid in tissue repair, are anti-inflammatory, and can decrease atherosclerotic plaque.
- While EPA shows promise, some experts advise caution and recommend consulting a doctor before discontinuing aspirin.
- The NHS suggests lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, healthy eating, and exercise can help manage atherosclerosis.
