How to Clean Your Arteries with
One Simple Fruit
by Sayer Ji
The future of cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment will not be found in your medicine cabinet, rather in your kitchen cupboard or in your back yard growing on a tree.
Pomegranate Found To Prevent Coronary Artery Disease Progression A
study published in the journal Ath- erosclerosis confirms that pome- granate extract may prevent and/or
reverse the primary pathology associated with cardiac mortality: the progressive thickening of the coronary arteries caused by the accumulation of fatty materials known as atherosclerosis.
Mice with a genetic susceptibility to-
wards spontaneous coronary artery block- ages were given pomegranate extract via their drinking water for two weeks, begin-
ning at three weeks of age. Despite the fact that pomegranate treatment actually in- creased cholesterol levels associated with very low density lipoprotein-sized particles, the treatment both reduced the size of the atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic sinus (the dilated opening above the aortic valve) and reduced the proportion of coronary arteries with occlusive atherosclerotic plaques.
Remarkably, the researchers also found
that pomegranate extract treatment resulted in the following 7 beneficial effects:
• Reduced levels of oxidative stress
• Reduced monocytie chemotactic pro- tein-1, a chemical messenger (chemo- kine) associated with inflammatory pro- cesses within the arteries.
• Reduced lipid accumulation in the heart muscle
• Reduced macrophage infiltration in the heart muscle
• Reduced levels of monocyte chemo- tactic protein-1 and fibrosis in the myo- cardium
• Reduced cardiac enlargement • Reduced ECG abnormalities
