21 Foods That Naturally Unclog Your Arteries

1. Apples

A study by the Ohio State University suggests that apples may help lower levels of a blood chemical that is linked to the hardening of the arteries. The study was conducted on healthy middle-aged adults who consumed one apple a day for four weeks. As a result, their blood levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), also known as bad cholesterol, was lowered by 40 percent. Oxidized LDL may result in the hardening of arteries by promoting inflammation. When it comes to clogged arteries, it looks like an apple a day can actually keep the doctor away.
