Artery Blockage Recommended Nutrients : C18:3w3, C20:5w3, C22:6w3, Vitamin E, Dietary fibre, total, Avoidable Nutrients : Saturated fatty acids, total, equated, Trans fatty acids, total, imputed, Sodium, Cholesterol, Artery blockage occurs when plaque, made up of fats, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, builds up in the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart and other organs. Over time, this buildup can result in chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and even heart attacks. The nutrients we consume play a critical role in either preventing or accelerating plaque formation. Beneficial nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants help reduce cholesterol levels, inflammation, and plaque buildup, improving arterial health. Harmful nutrients like saturated fats, trans fats, and excess sodium promote inflammation, increase LDL cholesterol, and contribute to plaque accumulation, worsening artery blockage.
