You can add years to your life by keeping your
heart healthy. Caring for your ticker can be as easy as knowing what to
eat! Discover 5 powerful foods that serve as weapons to fight clogged
arteries.
Like any plumbing system, your arteries can get clogged up.
When you have high blood pressure, inflammation causes cholesterol to
stick to the walls of your blood vessels, forming a plaque. The
following foods are powerful enough to prevent this dangerous clogging.

Kiwi and Cantaloupe
These antioxidant-rich foods work by reducing toxic LDL cholesterol,
which is formed by a rusting process in your arteries. They can help
stop the “rust” in its tracks and even prevent it from spreading. Eat 1
cup of cantaloupe or 1 kiwi a day to unclog your arteries.
Shrimp
Despite being a source of cholesterol, shrimp can be helpful for your
heart. They contain taurine, an amino acid, which acts like plastic
wrap so fats can’t cross the intestinal wall and get into your arteries.
Try having 5 medium-sized steamed or grilled shrimp twice a week. Be
sure to avoid the cocktail sauces.
Red-Skinned Grapes and Cranberry Juice
These foods strain the fat out your arteries. Instead of having fat
build up in your blood vessels, these foods improve your cells' ability
to absorb the fat and use it for energy production. Drink a glass of
cranberry juice three times a week or eat 1 cup of grapes per day to
unclog your arteries.
