If you have high cholesterol then you need to be aware of what can happen to you if you get a clogged artery. It depends on the location of the clogged artery as to how serious it can be. If an artery that feeds the blood supply in the brain becomes clogged, you could experience a stroke. Depending on the severity, a stroke could leave you paralyzed for the rest of your life or a stroke could be fatal.
So now that you know just a couple of the dangers of high cholesterol, you need to think about how you can lower your cholesterol and how to cleanse your arteries naturally. There are specific foods that can help to clean your arteries. Read on to uncover the types of foods you should be eating for a natural artery cleansing.
To cleanse your arteries the natural way you should eat an abundance of whole grain foods. Replace white bread with whole grain breads and include oats in your daily diet. You should also include beans, peas and other high fiber foods to your diet.
Other artery cleansing foods include melons, cucumbers, onions, leeks and garlic. These foods will help to increase the levels of high density lipoproteins in your body. They will also lower your low density lipoprotein levels. The low density lipoproteins are the ones that cause the arteries to become clogged with fatty deposits.
It is also important that you watch your intake of fats. You should stay away from saturated fats and trans fatty acids that are found in hydrogenated fats. These fats are found in shortening, margarine and most all processed foods. Make sure you read the labels on everything that you eat.
You should also increase your intake of seafood. Seafood contains a high content of omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 essential fatty acids. These fatty acids have been proven to lower the blood triglyceride levels and they will improve blood flow throughout the body.
So if you have high cholesterol or are worried about getting high cholesterol, it is time to clean your arteries the natural way. Start eating the above mentioned foods and start an exercise program. It is also important that you drink plenty of water. If you do all of these things, you may be surprised at how clean your arteries will become.

I am a little confused about omega 3 fatty acids as it relates to omega 6 and 9. I thought that I had read articles stating that omega 6 is abundant in many foods with canola, palm, and other processed oils. I also read that too much omega 6 is directly linked to rapid ageing of the arterial walls, etc... So, should we be cautious about consuming too much omega 6?
Yes most people get too much omega 6 because of the modern diet and need more omega-3
I take garlic juice regulary. Would it help to cleanse? How much garlic juice should I take in one dose?
