Foods Good for Vascular Health VS Bad Foods

Reasons for blood vessel blockage | Bad foods | Good foods

Vascular health is very important for a healthy body.

For blood vessels to be healthy, there should be little fat inside the vessels.

Accumulation of fat can block blood vessels and cause arteriosclerosis.

Let's develop a habit of avoiding foods that are bad for your blood vessels and embracing healthy foods.

There is no place in the body where blood does not flow. Our body can function properly only when blood is supplied smoothly. When blood vessels are blocked, it can cause various serious diseases.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by blocked blood vessels are among the leading causes of death in our country.

What causes blood vessels to become blocked? It's because there is a lot of fat buildup in the blood.

Lipids in the blood include cholesterol and triglycerides. When their levels increase, the blood becomes thick and clumpy. These clumps stick to the walls of blood vessels, causing blockages.

 

 

Bad food

• Foods high in cholesterol

 

 

Foods high in animal fats contain a lot of saturated fats. They are abundant in red meats such as beef and pork.

Ramen and similar dishes are usually fried in oil, and foods like bread, bacon, and hot dog sausages also contain a lot of oil. These foods increase triglycerides and cholesterol in our bodies, leading to clogged blood vessels.

• Foods high in trans fats

Trans fats are worse than saturated fats. Trans fats are created by adding hydrogen to saturated fats to make them last longer, and they are found in many snacks, margarine, and other products. Trans fats not only harm vascular health by causing hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia but also can induce cancer, so they should be avoided as much as possible.

 

Good food

• Vegetables and Fruits

Cabbage: The sulforaphane component of cabbage activates proteins that inhibit blood clot formation in blood vessels.

Apple: Apples contain a lot of dietary fiber. These dietary fibers help eliminate bad cholesterol, LDL cholesterol.

Onions and garlic: The allicin components found in onions and garlic help release carbon monoxide, reduce vascular stiffness, and lower blood pressure.

Tangerine: The white, thread-like substance that appears tangled on the surface of a tangerine is called "albedo." The albedo plays a role in maintaining healthy blood vessels.

• Oat

This grain, called oats or oatmeal, contains beta-glucan, which has the effect of lowering blood cholesterol levels. Additionally, most of the fatty acids in oats are unsaturated fats, which can help keep blood and blood vessels healthy.

• Blue fish

Blue fish contain a high amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 helps lower triglycerides and has anti-inflammatory effects, making blood vessels stronger.

• Seaweed

Seaweed such as kelp and laver are rich in iodine. Iodine helps improve blood circulation, eliminates waste products from the body, and aids in blood pressure regulation.

• Red Yeast Rice

Red rice is made by fermenting rice. During the fermentation process, a compound called monacolin K is produced, which has the effect of lowering cholesterol. When taken together with omega-3, it can produce a synergistic effect.

I think I saw Hongguk bread in an earlier post.

This is rice that has been fermented.

It seems to be effective in lowering cholesterol.
