Top 10 Foods to Help Prevent Clogged Arteries

10 Foods to Help Prevent Clogged Arteries

• Garlic
Since ancient times garlic has been used to treat heart
disease and hypertension. According to a study published
in preventive medicine, garlic inhibits coronary artery
calcification which serves as a marker for plaque
formation.
• Grapes
Grapes are rich in flavonoids, quercetin, and resveratrol.
These flavonoids have been found to prevent the oxidation
of bad cholesterol that leads to the formation of plaque in
artery walls. They also lower the risk of developing blood
clots that can lead to heart attacks.
• Spinach
Spinach is rich in potassium and folic acids, both of which
act as a defense against high blood pressure. Spinach is
also rich in lutein, a plant carotenoid which not only
protects against age related macular degeneration but also
prevents heart attacks by keeping arteries free from
cholesterol build up.
• Fish
A study conducted by researchers at Southampton
University found that Omega 3 oils, present in fishes like
tuna and salmon, stop the build up of fatty deposits in the
arteries. These fatty acids prevent clots from forming and
cholesterol from becoming oxidized.
• Olive oil
Only oxidized cholesterol is able to stick to your artery
walls and form plaques. Monounsaturated fats present in
olive oil when mixed with molecules of bad cholesterol
become less likely to be oxidized.
• Tomatoes
According to a study conducted by Korean researchers,
lycopene, a compound present in tomatoes that gives them
their color, helps in prevent hardening of the arteries.
Researchers found that women with the highest lycopene
levels in their blood had the least stiffness in their arteries.
• Pomegranates
Pomegranate juice not only appears to prevent hardening
of the arteries by reducing blood vessel damage, but may
also reverse the progression of this disease. Pomegranate
fruit and its juice are high in antioxidant content, which
may help fight hardening of the arteries.
• 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 one cup of cantaloupe or
one kiwi per day to unclog your arteries.
• Cranberry juice
This juice strains the fat out of arteries. Instead of having
fat build up in your blood vessels, this juice boosts your
cell’s ability to absorb the fat and use it for production of
energy. Drink three glasses of this juice every week to
unclog your arteries.
• Oats
Thanks to the soluble fiber in oats, cholesterol doesn’t
stand a chance. This fiber attaches itself to cholesterol
and carries it right out of your system. Some studies have
shown that eating just 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups of cooked oat-
bran cereal daily can lower cholesterol levels by almost
20%.

School strategy: Planning for success

School strategy: Planning for success

TARIQ was feeling proud as he showed his test copies to his parents. He had scored the highest marks in all the tests during the first monthly tests of the new academic session.

The teachers’ remarks were encouraging and he wore a confident look on his face, totally opposite to the crestfallen one when he had got his last annual report card. Being one of the best in his class in mathematics, his annual result was a big disappointment for him and his parents.

“Many of us fear death.

“Many of us fear death. We believe in death because we have been told we will die. We associate ourselves with the body, and we know that bodies die. But a new scientific theory suggests that death is not the terminal event we think,” says Dr Robert Lanza, America’s Chief Scientific Officer of Advanced Cell Technology.

Lanza says while our bodies disintegrate, the “alive feeling — the ‘Who am I?’— is just a 20-watt fountain of energy operating in the brain … this energy doesn’t go away at death.” It is an irrefutable fact of science that “energy never dies; it can neither be created nor destroyed”.

Is mother nature angry ??

As we all know by now, the Earth has shifted once again. The slightest change from deep beneath the waters, a crack in the fabric of her lining, and islands quake while swelled waves rush across shorelines. We awake believing the world—our world—is stable, only to learn again and again that this Earth is as much a living, breathing, moving, active instrument of life as we are. It is the grandest live organism we shall ever encounter, this wondrous Being that sustains us each second of our lifetime.

for sender ............. !

After years of chasing his dreams, singer-songwriter Alex Woodard finally had a record deal and an album to promote.

Be a Yes ................... !

A big part of the work I do involves leading week long trainings for people who want to learn to teach Baptiste Yoga, be leaders in their communities, and experience personal transformation. On the surface, these are yoga-teacher trainings, but really they’re about individuals breaking through to their real power by clearing out whatever is blocking them from being the most natural, authentic expression of themselves and creating an extraordinary life. People come from all over the world—Europe, Asia, South America, Canada, and even Africa—to participate in seven full days of transformational training, boot-camp style.

Dare to dreams .................. !

One of the greatest barriers to healing from any type of abuse or addiction is isolation. You may be like many survivors or addicts who have learned that by isolating, you feel safe, or at least may convince yourself you are safe. There are many myths about isolating that I’d like to invite you to challenge today.

Our earth star ............... !

During the four short years of the manned Apollo space program, from December 1968 to December 1972, six of the lunar missions landed humans on the moon and brought them back safely to Earth (and yes, they really did land on the moon). The program was named after Apollo, the Greek god of light, music, and the sun, and was as mythic as the god himself. What really surprised the astronauts, however, was not the moon itself, but the view of Earth from space.

Is It tomrrow yet ........... !

Like the lyrics from the Broadway musical, Annie, “Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow! You’re always a day away!” and the characters in Samuel Beckett’s classic play, Waiting for Godot, an awful lot of us spend an inordinate amount of our lives waiting for tomorrow or for whatever the next something, someone, or somewhere is.

But, I’ve learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I can never get back and people will never be sorry. I’ll know better next time and I won’t settle for anything less than I deserve.”

When God Create A Women !

By the time the Lord made mothers, He was into the sixth day working overtime. An Angel appeared and said “Why are you spending so much time on this one?”
And the Lord answered and said, “Have you read the spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not elastic; have 200 movable parts, all replaceable; run on black coffee and leftovers; have a lap that can hold three children at one time and that disappears when she stands up; have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart; and have six pairs of hands.”

Doctors discovered a horrific staph infection that ran along his entire spine, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down and in excruciating pain. His book My Next Step is the remarkable journey of one man coming face-to-face with his darkest moments, from severe hallucinations to the fear of possibly never walking again.

The power of presence !

When I knew that I was going to take part in a dialogue with Eckhart Tolle, I wondered if I might be slightly nervous. But when I found myself on stage, sitting next to Eckhart in front of around 300 people and four TV cameras, the opposite was the case. I felt a very powerful sense of stillness and calm. I felt that this was emanating from Eckhart, and amplified by the audience.
