All the following tips boil down to a change in diet.

• Drinking tea instead of coffee, be it green or dark tea, helps to cut cholesterol. Tea drinkers experience a lot less hardening of the arteries, generally speaking, than coffee drinkers do.
• Cabbage, especially Brussels sprouts, included into the diet regularly, can dramatically lower the so called “bad” cholesterol. The same counts for garlic and onion, which raise the level of “good” cholesterol in the blood and help wash out the bad cholesterol.
• Generous amounts of brown rice in your diet, along with steamed vegetables and baked potatoes, will help to keep arteries unclogged, and will also lower cholesterol considerably. The Pritikin Diet, which relies heavily on these, has proven to work well to clean arteries.
• Tomatoes, eaten when consuming (too much) animal fat like butter, cheese, eggs, beef and many deep fried foods, will help dissolve this fat, thus preventing hardening of the arteries.
