LEMONS…Helping Your Arteries and Cardiovascular System | Dr. Mandell

Lemons are a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants. Research suggests that these two nutrients are beneficial for heart health and help prevent heart disease and stroke. However, some amount of fiber present in lemon can also significantly lower some risk factors for heart diseases. Lemon acts as an antioxidant in the body and arteries and helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

The minerals and vitamins found in lemon juice encourage healthy digestion and reduce heartburn and bloating by loosening any toxins trapped in your digestive tract. Lemons are also a great source of potassium which helps keep your heart healthy, build muscle, and aid the body in breaking down and using carbohydrates.

Clogged arteries result from the build-up of a substance called plaque in the arterial walls. It is also medically referred to as arterial plaque. This plaque can reduce blood flow or even block it altogether.
Clogged arteries increase your risk of developing other health complications like a heart attack or stroke.
Some of the most common risk factors for clogged arteries are:
High levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) or low levels of HDL (good cholesterol)
A high blood pressure
Smoking tobacco
Diabetes or elevated blood sugar levels
A family history of atherosclerosis or clogged arteries
Stress
Obesity
A sedentary lifestyle

Most cases of clogged arteries do not exhibit any symptoms until a heart attack or blood clot presents itself. However, in cases where 70% or more of the arteries are blocked, you will notice the following symptoms.
Severe cases of clogged arteries may exhibit symptoms like:
Shortness of breath
Sweating
Nausea
Chest pain or angina
Palpitations of the heart
Dizziness
Weakness
