A healthy body means good health, external beauty, and longevity. Self-healing has become fashionable today. People began to cleanse the body - the liver, kidneys, intestines, and blood. Vessels are not left unattended either. It is believed that the arteries must be periodically rid of everything unnecessary. Is cleaning blood vessels with folk remedies safe, and is there a need for it? Which methods are the most effective?
Myths about “cleansing” blood vessels
Content
The circulatory system performs an important function in the body - it delivers blood to organs and tissues from the heart and back. And although blood is a liquid substance, it is quite capable of “clogging” arteries. With age, the risk of atherosclerosis increases. It is manifested by the deposition of cholesterol plaques on any part of the bloodstream. Connective tissue gradually grows in plaques, and the vascular lumen narrows. In severe cases, blockage may even occur. Persons also at risk are:
- with obesity;
- smokers;
- patients with hypertension;
- with diabetes mellitus;
- leading a sedentary lifestyle;
- those who do not adhere to proper nutrition;
- with a hereditary predisposition to atherosclerosis.
Why is it important to monitor the condition of blood vessels? Atherosclerosis is fraught with serious complications: from ischemia to stroke or heart attack.
While self-medicating, many are not aware of the correctness and necessity of measures aimed at cleaning the bloodstream.
There are two main myths about vascular health:
- herbal remedies are the key to healthy blood flow if consumed regularly;
- regular inpatient treatment can prevent atherosclerosis and eliminate existing disease.
But in fact, already formed vascular blockages can only be removed surgically, and no herbal remedies can dissolve these formations. So is there any point in cleaning? Undoubtedly, but for preventive purposes!
