Subject: FW: 5 Natural Blood Cleansers
Natural Blood Cleansers
What if you could brush your circulatory system just like you brush your
teeth, and clear away any dangerous buildups that may be obstructing a
healthy blood flow? Well, wonder no more, because you can. Certain foods
have natural and effective “unblockers”, and even if you’re not suffering
from such blockages, adding them to your daily menu will help reduce the
risk of developing clogged blood vessels in the future, which can lead to
heart attacks and strokes. Remember, prevention is so much better than
treatment.
Like
While everyone is terrified of elevated levels of LDL (the “bad
cholesterol”), most people don’t know that the actual levels of cholesterol
are unimportant – it’s how much of it is oxygenated that matters. Even if
your cholesterol levels are balanced, you can still be at high risk of
atherosclerosis (a disease of the arteries characterized by the deposition
of fatty material on their inner walls) if the cholesterol is oxygenated.
For years, researchers have been looking for a way to prevent the
oxygenation of cholesterol, only to find that the most effective way is to
add certain foods to your diet. Many studies found that certain fruits and
vegetables work wonders for unblocking blood vessels, and prevent future
obstructions too.
*Broccoli*
Broccoli is rich in vitamin E, which is essential in preventing blood
clots. A recent Japanese study required participants with high cholesterol
levels to drink 1½ cups of juice that contained broccoli each day. Within
six weeks, there was a noticeable decrease in LDL levels in their blood.
Broccoli also contains lutein, which is effective in preventing cataracts
and premature aging of the soft tissues in our eyes.
Like
*Onions*
What makes our eyes cry makes our body happy. The sulfuric compounds in
onion, which cause our tear ducts to act more like tear rivers, are also
effective blood thinners, and can elevate the levels of good cholesterol
(HDL). Furthermore, onions contain quercetin – an antioxidant that is a
particularly effective anti-inflammatory. Since the cause of
atherosclerosis is plaque buildup, which is an inflammatory process,
quercetin plays a vital role in its prevention. Eating onions reduces blood
flow, which reduces the strain on your blood vessels, keeping them more
elastic.
Onions are also effective in lowering blood sugar levels in diabetics.
However, it’s important to remember that these benefits are only relevant
for *raw* onions, as cooking destroys many of the healthy nutrients in it.
Like
*Tomatoes*
Tomatoes are treasure troves of nutrients that protect our blood vessels
and neutralize free radicals. They are filled with lycopene, an antioxidant
that helps lower oxygenated LDL levels, thus reducing the risk of
developing blockages. If that wasn’t enough, tomatoes also contain a
natural NSAID-like substance that helps in thinning out the blood.
The lycopene is not destroyed when cooked, so eating any tomato product is
healthy, and particularly in men, as it can prevent prostate cancer.
Like
*Pomegranates*
The powerful antioxidants in pomegranates are the reason this fruit is
considered to be the body’s “plumber”. These antioxidants (called
anthocyanins) are very powerful – even more than those found in red wine.
Drinking just ½ a cup of pomegranate juice a day helps in preventing the
buildup of contaminants in blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.
Pomegranates can be kept in the fridge for up to six months, though the
longer you wait – the lower the levels of antioxidants drop. To learn more

*Beets*
Beets contain a unique compound called betaine. This compound neutralizes
homocysteine in your blood vessels, which, in high levels can cause
myocardial infarction (a heart attack). Another nutrient beets contain is
folic acid, which also aids in neutralizing homocysteine. If that's not
enough, they also contain potassium and magnesium, substances that can
lower blood pressure.
Russian researchers discovered that beet juice changes the activity of
enzymes in the liver, which boosts the cells' natural autoxidation
processes. They are also great for diabetics, thanks to their high
concentration of nutritional fibers.
Added bonus: Beets provide an effective relief from constipation without
causing bloating or gas.
*Other Foods that are Beneficial to Blood Vessels*
*Oranges* and *cherries, *which contain bioflavonoids.
*Beer* *yeast, *which contain a lot of vitamins.
*Watermelon, *which, like the tomato, is rich in lycopene.
*Strawberries,* which are rich in antioxidants and niacin.
