Cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease, is the leading cause of death globally, but it’s largely preventable.
So, what causes cardiovascular disease? One major underlying mechanism is atherosclerosis, or plaque formation in the arteries.
In today’s video, we go over 10 nutrients in foods that help clean your arteries, and prevent heart attack and stroke, according to science.
