Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. All arteries, with the exception of the pulmonary and umbilical arteries, carry oxygenated blood. The circulatory system is extremely important for sustaining life. Its proper functioning is responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all cells, as well as the removal of carbon dioxide and waste products, maintenance of optimum pH, and the mobility of the elements, proteins and cells of the immune system. In developed countries, the two leading causes of death, myocardial infarction and stroke each may directly result from an arterial system that has been slowly and progressively compromised by years of deterioration.

Q. I was wondering what can you do to help reverse the effects of cholesterol clogging in the arteries? Asked by francis b - Wed Jun 4 15:08:59 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Diet and exercise are the best controls over high cholesterol levels in blood. Reducing your intake of refined sugars is also important. Eating a low fat, low cholesterol, low sodium diet are recommended. Diets that include recommended amounts of unsatuerated fats and fiber are helpful. Those unsaturated fats can be found in some fish, walnuts, flax and supplements like Fish oil and Flax Seed Oil. Fiber comes from our fruits and vegetables. Fiber supplements may also be useful. Replace red meats, like beef and pork, with fish and chicken. Try to eat less fried foods. Bake, broil or roast your meats, fish and poultry. Take up a regular exercise program. Cardio exercise for 30+ minutes a day is a good start.

I have been told of quite a few remedies for helping keep your arteries clear and though i exercise by walking and going on my tryke i would like your answers. I smoke but only about 5 cigs a day, thats down from 20. I only have a binge on sweets once a week, its not too much and rarely drink achohol. Even cut down on my coffee from 10 cups to about 3 per day, now its only tea. Asked by ManicMajor - Fri Nov 13 05:42:52 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. The biggest - or at least, the most common - problem is cholesterol and plaque build up. Just eat foods with lower saturated fats and drink fruit juices - things with lots of antioxidants to fight your free radicals. They can damage your cells which can lead to arterial damage too. Green tea is supposed to be very good for you. I drink it, but I do prefer normal tea so don't worry too much about that one. I don't know if green tea is even good for your arteries or not.
