Eat This — It Opens Arteries to Your Heart and Brain | Dr. Mandell

Your arteries may stiffen and narrow as a result of aging, bad diet, stress, and inactivity, which will limit the amount of oxygen and blood that can reach your heart and brain. However, your body has a natural mechanism known as the nitric oxide pathway that keeps those arteries open. Your body produces more nitric oxide when you eat meals high in L-citrulline and L-arginine. This relaxes and dilates the blood vessels, allowing oxygen to reach all of your cells.

The best foods to naturally expand arteries, lower blood pressure, and improve circulation by nourishing the endothelium, the fragile membrane that regulates vascular tone, are revealed in this video. Find out how this easy nutrition-based approach can help you feel more energized, protect your heart, and improve your cognitive function.
