The formation of plaque in the arteries and other blood vessels is yet another contributor to high blood pressure and hypertension. Plaque buildup reduces the diameter of the blood vessel which in turn increases pressure.
This plaque is caused by an increased oxidation rate brought on by runaway numbers of free radicals found in persons with hypertension. Most people will say that the plaque is the result of the fats and cholesterol consumed and they would be right in the sense if you didn’t consume them you’d have less plaque. But the actual formation of plaque is the work of free radicals.
We need free radicals in our body.
We just don’t need the number that typically appears with high BP. When plaque becomes a major issue, like a blockage, the most common approach to repair it is surgery. However, there is another way.
But we don’t need that many. A natural removal strategy.
Plaque build up, like most of the symptoms of high blood pressure, is something we are not aware of until it becomes a major problem. It takes years for the plaque to develop, and conversely, it can take years to reverse it if you chose to do so naturally.
Free radicals can be reduced by increasing the amount of antioxidants in the blood stream. Free radicals are essentially orphaned electrons looking for a new home. At the molecular level that means a free radical can join a cell replacing one of the cell’s own electrons. This can lead to the mutation or death of the cell. This mutation or oxidation is what allows the cell to stick to the side of the blood vessel wall.
Antioxidants give the free radicals what they want.
They will absorb the electron but will not mutate in the process. The antioxidants are then passed from the body taking the free radical with them.
So where do we get these little miracles. Well we can get them from our food. Antioxidants and systemic enzymes, another great help in breaking up plaque, are abundant in broccoli and broccoli like vegetables. Antioxidants can be found in high concentrations in almost any bright colored berry like blue berries or black berries.
Knowing which foods to eat accomplishes two things.
It provides the ingredients for a reversal of plaque, and it’s replacing the bad foods that are loaded with the cholesterol that caused the problem in the first place.
If you want to avoid the possibility of surgery in your future, start getting educated today and get your daily dose of “medicine” from the grocers and not the pharmacist’s
