“I’m 70 years young and I would like to know if there is a natural treatment for clean arteries to prevent heart attack and cardiac problems.
Thanks for your reply!”

Dear Change,
I love how proactive you’re being about your heart health! Nature offers powerful solutions for keeping arteries clear and healthy.
Let me share what has worked for my patients (and research has confirmed) to support healthy blood flow…
Artery supporting nutrients:
- Omega-3 fatty acids (from fish oil or algae)
- CoQ10 (vital if you’ve ever taken statins)
- Vitamin K2 (to keep calcium in bones and out of arteries)
- Magnesium (nature’s artery relaxer)
Heart-healthy herbs and compounds:
- Berberine (improves cholesterol and blood sugar)
- Garlic (especially aged garlic extract)
- Pomegranate extract (reduces arterial plaque)
- Turmeric with black pepper (potent anti-inflammatory)
Lifestyle hacks:
- Regular aerobic exercise (even brisk walking helps)
- Mediterranean-style diet (plenty of olive oil and vegetables)
- Intermittent fasting (when done carefully—I explain how here)
- Stress management (chronic stress damages arteries)
Here’s something most conventional doctors won’t tell you about heart health: Inflammation is often a bigger concern than cholesterol when it comes to arterial health. That’s why anti-inflammatory supplements like turmeric and omega-3s are so helpful.
When my patients want to protect their arteries naturally, I usually recommend starting with a combination of five heart-friendly solutions:
- Fish oil
- CoQ10
- Vitamin K2
- Regular exercise
- Anti-inflammatory herbs
Remember, natural approaches take time to work—they’re not quick fixes. And always check with your healthcare provider before starting new supplements, especially if you’re taking any medications.
Looking for clear, healthy arteries is a fantastic goal at any age. Keep up that proactive attitude!
