Atherosclerosis

Hardening od the Arteries.
A common form of Arteriosclerosis in which deposits of yellowish plaques (atheromas) containing cholesterol, lipoid material, and lipophages are formed within the intima and inner media of large and medium-sized arteries.

Symptoms and causes

• High amounts of bad Cholesterol in your blood could cause complications such as fatty plaque deposits, atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke.

Home remedies

• Sesame Seeds oil prevents the formation of atherosclerotic lesions in mice fed an atherogenic diet. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory lignan found within sesame seeds known as sesamol has been identified to be partially responsible for its anti-atherogenic properties. In fact, sesamol has been shown to possess over two dozen beneficial pharmacologically active properties, many of which may contribute to improving cardiovascular health.
• Nattokinase is effective to combat “Hardening of the ateries” (atherosclerosis).
• Walnuts reduce levels of vascular cell adhesion molecules, which play a major role in the development of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
• Apples : Preclinical research indicates that apple contains compounds which prevent the formation of plaque within the arteries.One rabbit study, for instance, found that apple juice was capable of preventing the progression of atherosclerosis in a high cholesterol diet induced model of atherosclerosis
• Pomegranate : Preliminary evidence suggests drinking pomegranate juice might help to keep the arteries in the neck (carotid arteries) clear of the build-up of fatty deposits.
