Q I am 20 years old and just recently found out that both of my carotid arteries, left and right, are narrowed (60% and 40%). It can lead to a stroke and heart problems. I just wanted to find out if anyone knows any home remedies which could help me clear up my arteries and get rid off all the clots that are plugging them.
Kindly note that, the causes for carotid artery narrowing are hypertension, obesity, heredity, smoking, physical inactivity etc. You have to rule out one of it. If it is related with your life style, then you can follow the adaptation in your routine. But, if it hereditory, then you have you take the medical help for the best curative and preventive treatment. Here are some of the lifestyle changes which might help you- Exercise regularly for about 30-45 min a day. It can lower your blood pressure, increase your level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and improve the overall health of your blood vessels and heart. Take healthy diet and foods like leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, fish, fruits and fruit juices etc, which contain nutrients such as potassium, folate and antioxidants. Avoid fatty food and excess sodium in your diet which are aggravating factors. Dont smoke or drink alcohol.
