Are you tired of living with the constant fear of heart attack, stroke, dementia, and cancer looming over you? Do you want to live better and longer, but feel like your heart health is holding you back?
Your heart works hard every day to keep you alive. However, if your arteries are clogged, it’s like trying to drive a car with a blocked fuel line. This can lead to high blood pressure, thrombosis, coronary artery disease, and other conditions that can silently damage your cardiovascular system.
If you don’t take steps to protect your heart health, you may be setting yourself up for a lifetime of medication, hospital visits, and a reduced quality of life.
The good news is, there’s a simple way to take control of your heart health and reduce your risk of these serious diseases. In this video, I’ll share a powerful ‘One Shot’ recipe featuring four key ingredients that have been shown to help unclog arteries and increase blood flow.
These four ingredients address a primary underlying cause of cardiovascular disease: the inability of the inner lining of blood vessels (endothelium) to dilate fully.
They achieve this by increasing the production of nitric oxide in the endothelial cells, which then utilize it to signal the smooth muscle cells in the blood vessel walls to relax, allowing for improved blood flow and reduced blood pressure.
This natural solution makes far greater sense than simply thinning the blood with aspirin or other prescriptions to help it pass through narrower and increasingly clogged arterial spaces.
Although this “One Shot” recipe is backed by science, it’s not a magic pill. To prevent heart attack and stroke, and to ward off other diseases, you’ll also need to adopt certain lifestyle habits.
So, stay tuned until the end of this video to learn eight important lifestyle tips that will help you achieve optimal heart health and live a longer, healthier life.
So, our first principal ingredient is “Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)”.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is a fundamental component of the Mediterranean diet, renowned for its numerous benefits in promoting heart and artery health. Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), particularly oleic acid, EVOO plays a pivotal role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
EVOO is an abundant source of antioxidants, including polyphenols and vitamins, which protect cells from oxidative stress-induced damage. This harmful process, triggered by free radicals, can lead to premature cell death and contribute to aging.
The high polyphenol content in EVOO is preserved through minimal processing, involving cold pressing without heat or chemical solvents. This ensures that the antioxidant properties of EVOO are retained, providing maximum benefits for heart and artery health.
In addition to its antioxidant properties, EVOO acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, reducing inflammation in blood vessels. This has been shown to lower levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, increase levels of good cholesterol (HDL), and prevent atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty plaque, cholesterol, and other residues in the arteries.
Overall, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of EVOO contribute to vasodilation, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure, while also enhancing artery flexibility and overall cardiovascular health.
Next, our second key ingredient is chia seeds.
Chia seeds are a nutrient-dense ingredient that offers numerous health benefits. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties, chia seeds help reduce inflammation and improve blood vessel function, which can lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Chia seeds are also an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, which complements their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The soluble fiber in chia seeds serves as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in the gut, which is essential for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome.
A healthy gut microbiome is closely linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, as it helps regulate inflammation, improve blood vessel function, and lower levels of harmful lipids and blood pressure.
In addition to their gut health benefits, chia seeds have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, making them a valuable ingredient in managing diabetes, a common cause of poor circulation and heart disease.
The high fiber content in chia seeds also contributes to feelings of satiety, aiding in weight loss efforts and supporting overall metabolic health, which in turn helps prevent heart disease and stroke.
Next, our third primary ingredient is turmeric.
Turmeric plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy arteries. The powerful compounds in turmeric, known as curcuminoids, which includes curcumin, offer numerous benefits for blood vessel health.
Curcuminoids in turmeric help make blood vessel walls more flexible by increasing nitric oxide bioavailability, thus protecting against atherosclerosis, or clogged arteries. This protective effect is enhanced when combined with regular exercise, highlighting the importance of physical activity for overall health.
In addition, turmeric offers additional benefits for individuals with diabetes. Turmeric has been shown to improve blood flow and strengthen blood vessel walls by enhancing the composition of collagen and elastin. This is crucial because diabetes can weaken artery walls and make them more prone to damage, leading to serious conditions such as aneurysms, heart disease, and peripheral artery disease.
Furthermore, turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may help prevent or manage other conditions associated with diabetes, such as kidney disease, nerve damage, and vision problems, by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
Also, turmeric’s ability to promote cellular longevity, especially in the muscle cells of the heart, known as cardiomyocytes, makes it a valuable ally in promoting healthy circulation. This is especially important for individuals with diabetes, who are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
As an alternative to turmeric, curry powder can be used. Curry powder typically contains a blend of herbs, including clove, coriander, turmeric, cumin, garlic, ginger, onion, and red pepper. These herbs work together to dilate arteries and promote healthy blood flow.
Next, our fourth primary ingredient is black pepper.
Black pepper, our final ingredient, not only enhances the absorption of turmeric but also offers its own benefits for circulation. This anti-inflammatory spice contains a compound called piperine, which acts as a vasodilator, promoting the dilation and relaxation of blood vessels. By relaxing blood vessels, piperine helps to improve blood flow and reduce blood pressure.
In addition, black pepper’s ability to enhance nutrient absorption extends beyond turmeric. It also improves the uptake of other essential nutrients, including vitamins C and E, which help protect blood vessels from oxidative stress and damage, iron, which plays a crucial role in transporting oxygen to tissues and organs, and beta-carotene, which helps maintain healthy blood vessel walls and prevent atherosclerosis.
Next, let’s go over the recipe for our daily dose.
To prepare it, you’ll need a small glass or cup. Start by adding a tablespoon of olive oil and half a tablespoon of chia seeds. Allow the mixture to soak for about 15 minutes, giving the chia seeds time to absorb the oil and expand. Next, add a pinch of turmeric and a pinch of black pepper, OR a pinch of curry powder – don’t worry too much about exact measurements.
Once the mixture is ready, you can consume it in various ways. You can drink it raw, and while it may not be particularly tasty, it’s not unpleasant either. Alternatively, you can add it to a salad, use it as a topping for rice or vegetables, or substitute it for butter on bread. The key is to incorporate it into your meals in any way you prefer, as long as you consume it daily.
Each ingredient in this mixture offers significant health benefits, which contribute to a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.
Always check with a healthcare provider before beginning this daily routine, especially if you are on any medications.
While this “One Shot” recipe can help clean your arteries, it’s not a standalone solution.
To prevent heart attack and stroke, you’ll also need to adopt healthy lifestyle habits, which I’ve outlined below.
Avoid Inflammatory Foods: Limit or avoid processed foods that promote inflammation, including:
Sugary drinks, such as soda, sports drinks, and sweet tea
Fast and fried foods, such as French fries and greasy takeout
Baked goods and refined grains, such as cookies, cakes, and white bread
Processed meats, such as hot dogs, sausage, and deli meat
These foods are high in unhealthy ingredients, including high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, trans fats, GMOs, gluten, excessive sodium, and other chemicals. Instead, focus on eating heart-healthy, nutrient-dense whole foods, such as fatty fish, grass-fed beef and organ meats, nitrate-rich vegetables like spinach and arugula, nuts and seeds, citrus fruits, and berries.

Practise Fasting: Intermittent fasting helps keep arteries clear and lowers the risk of heart disease by reducing oxidation, inflammation, and insulin resistance, while also promoting the removal of damaged cells and plaques through apoptosis and autophagy.
Get Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per day to increase metabolism and reduce inflammation, which helps keep your blood vessels healthy.
Get Enough Sunlight: Vitamin D, obtained through sunlight, is crucial for healthy circulation as it stimulates nitric oxide production and reduces inflammation. Aim for 15 minutes to 2 hours of midday sun exposure daily, depending on your skin tone, to achieve adequate vitamin D levels.
Reduce Toxins: Reduce your exposure to toxins from air pollution, pesticides, mold, heavy metals, and chemicals by using natural products, avoiding smoking, and drinking plenty of water to help flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and protect your blood vessels from damage.
Get Enough Sleep: Adequate sleep can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, with benefits comparable to a significant drop in blood pressure. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night.
Reduce Stress: Chronic stress can contribute to inflammation and cardiovascular disease by increasing cortisol levels and blood pressure. Manage stress with techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Regular exercise and adequate sleep also help reduce stress levels.
Supplement As Needed: Certain supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and vitamin K2, can help reduce inflammation and support heart health.
