The drink for clogged arteries is designed to cleanse our blood vessels of fatty deposits and prevent heart attack or stroke, contributing to a younger, healthier body and longevity.
Ingredients for the Drink for Clogged Arteries
- 2.2 pounds of lemons
- 1 liter of water
- 10.5 oz of garlic
Method
1Wash the lemons thoroughly. Leave them for 15 minutes in a bowl with warm water to which you’ve added a tablespoon of baking soda. This will draw out pesticide residues. Rinse the lemons under running water, cut them unpeeled, and chop them together with the garlic cloves using a blender. Pour the mixture into a suitably large pot, add a liter of water, and place on the stove. Cover the pot with a lid.
2Wait for the mixture to boil, then let it simmer for another 15 minutes at lower temperature.
3After this time, remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool. Once cooled, strain into a clean bottle, seal tightly, and refrigerate.
4Take the preparation for 25 days, half a deciliter daily in the morning and evening. Then take a 10-day break and consume it again for 25 days.
5Use the drink for clogged arteries once or twice a year. A six-month break between treatments is essential.
Why Do We Need to Take a Break?
The reason for the recommended break between consuming such a drink is multifaceted:
Excessive consumption of healthy ingredients like lemons and garlic isn’t always beneficial and can cause oversaturation with certain nutrients or even overload the body with certain compounds.
Digestive problems may also occur.
If we take a break between consuming such a drink, we allow the body to better absorb nutrients from each ingredient. This can increase the effectiveness of consumed substances and reduce the risk of nutrient loss through the digestive tract.
In short, taking a break between consuming this drink allows the body to better utilize nutrients and reduces the risk of potential side effects.

Foods that Positively Affect Blood Vessels:
Fish high in omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon, mackerel, sardines, and other fish high in omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and improve blood vessel elasticity.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and other nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, vitamin E, and antioxidants that are beneficial for the heart.
Oats: Contains beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that helps lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood sugar.
Avocado: Contains healthy monounsaturated fats that help regulate cholesterol and maintain blood vessel flexibility.
Vegetables: Spinach, broccoli, carrots, and other dark green or orange vegetables are rich in antioxidants that protect cells and blood vessels.
Tomatoes: Contains lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant and beneficial for the heart. Cooked tomatoes (e.g., in sauce) increase lycopene absorption.
Strawberries: Rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C, which help strengthen blood vessel walls.
Garlic: Has anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties and helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
Beans and other legumes: Contain fiber, proteins, and minerals that are beneficial for the heart.
Cinnamon: Helps reduce inflammation and contributes to lowering blood sugar levels.
Olive oil: Contains monounsaturated fats that are beneficial for the heart and antioxidants.
