Fish
Fish is filled with vital nutrients such as omega-3 fats. Consuming omega-3- rich fish can help decrease the risk of atherosclerosis. Omega-3s can reduce the expression of cellular adhesion molecules, which are proteins that permit cells to stick to one another and their surroundings.
The body produces cellular adhesion molecules in response to inflammation and they are mainly responsible for clogging of arteries. Ingestion of fish can help decrease the risk of having clogged arteries, and they also help to unclog arteries.
A study that compared people who ate less than one serving of fish per week with those who ate two or more servings of fish per week. The study discovered that 13.3% of people who consumed less fish had atherosclerosis in their carotid arteries, which send blood to the brain, compared with the 6.6% of people in the fish-eating section.
