21 Foods That Naturally Unclog Your Arteries

12. Green Tea

Green tea is rich in antioxidants which help fight radicals. Like coffee, it has benefits for your cardiovascular health. A study has found that the compound epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in green tea may help slow down the accumulation of plaque that can clog your arteries. While the amounts of this antioxidant are not great enough in a moderate amount of tea, researchers are trying to find the best techniques to utilize it for medical use. Still, if you are a tea lover, you can enjoy your cup knowing that every sip may contribute to your heart health.
