The natural enemy of cholesterol, the killer of plaque! Vascular health from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
As an experienced veteran TCM practitioner, I am well aware of the impact of cholesterol and plaque on vascular health. Today, I will introduce you to some foods that are the natural enemies of cholesterol and the killers of plaque, and eating more of these foods can make our blood vessels healthier.
First of all, I would like to emphasize that TCM believes that the balance of the body's internal environment is the key to maintaining good health. Therefore, before recommending food, I would like to popularize some basic knowledge of Chinese medicine to you. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang in the human body is necessary for maintaining good health. The intake of food plays a vital role in regulating the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang.
Now, let's take a look at what foods can help us lower cholesterol and prevent plaque formation to keep our blood vessels healthy.
The first is oats. Oats are rich in soluble dietary fiber, which helps lower blood cholesterol levels. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, oats have the effect of strengthening the spleen and eliminating food, nourishing the heart and soothing the nerves, and also have a good effect on regulating the function of the spleen and stomach and improving the quality of sleep.
This is followed by deep-sea fish. Deep-sea fish are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which help lower bad cholesterol levels while raising good cholesterol levels. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that deep-sea fish has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing blood, calming the liver and quenching wind, and also has a good effect on regulating the balance of qi and blood in the human body.
In addition, nuts are also a good choice. Nuts are rich in plant sterols, which help lower blood cholesterol levels.
