These Foods Are Good For Your Blood Health!

Middle-aged women, in particular, are at increased risk of vascular diseases such as heart disease (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction) and stroke (cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage). This is because as women age, estrogen, which is the hormone that protects blood vessels, decreases. 

To prevent this, you need to take care of your blood health first.

When triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood increase, it can progress to serious vascular disease following hyperlipidemia. Let's find out about the foods that help you maintain optimum blood health.

 

Seaweeds and Whole grain

Vegetables, seaweeds as well as whole grains are rich in dietary fiber which helps to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood by promoting the excretion of bile acids. 

Dietary fiber is good for lowering total cholesterol and LDL or low-density lipoprotein levels. The European Heart Association and the European Society for Atherosclerosis recommend the intake of at least 7 to 13 g of soluble fiber.

 

 

Onion and Garlic

Onion and garlic contain a lot of allicin, which helps to relieve the hardening of blood vessels and progress to arteriosclerosis. It helps to dissolve the dietary fiber in the blood vessels, thereby reducing the occurrence of blood clots. 

It also helps to lower blood pressure and prevent platelets from clotting. Onion's quercetin component helps prevent high blood pressure by inhibiting the accumulation of triglycerides and cholesterol in blood vessels.

 

Pomegranate

Pomegranate, which is good for relieving menopausal symptoms in women, also has a good effect on hypercholesterolemia in the blood. Pomegranate peels are rich in phenolic compounds that are responsible for this function. 

It also helps reduce inflammation in body tissues caused by gut microbes and bacteria. Pomegranate peel extract has a strong antioxidant effect and affects blood vessel damage and reduction of aging.  Don't miss out on the benefits of pomegranate by checking out Umeken Pomegrante Zakuro Ball EX.
