Treatment for atherosclerosis

The danger of the disease lies in the fact that it is asymptomatic and signs such as tinnitus and dizziness can be attributed to a number of diseases or attributed to fatigue and overexertion.

The prerequisites for atherosclerosis are eating foods high in fat, irregular meals, tobacco use, a sedentary lifestyle and poor ecology, combined with regular stress conditions.

All these products are distinguished by the fact that the fats contained in them are not excreted from the body, but are deposited in plaques on the vessels and limbs of the human body.

Recognizing the disease in the early stages is not always possible. To prevent the disease or its development, it is recommended to visit a doctor regularly, take blood tests and an ECG. Regular dizziness, negative ischemic changes, tinnitus should alert.

On the medical market you can see an extensive range of prophylactic agents to prevent atherosclerosis

Clover, getting into the body, first of all cleans the vessels and tissues. Shamrock effectively fights cholesterol. A decoction of the plant is quickly absorbed into the blood. For a speedy recovery, it is precisely fresh dried inflorescences that are needed; treatment with dried flowers bought at a pharmacy will take a little longer.

Cholesterol molecules, meeting with the trefoil, attach to it, partially breaking down, and are excreted from the body along with the clover. Clover normalizes blood circulation, cleanses blood vessels and destroys cholesterol plaques. Thanks to the use of a decoction of this plant, the amount of oxygen in the blood increases, the number of lipoproteins decreases, cholesterol levels are restored, and the walls of blood vessels are strengthened. Fat deposits have a loose structure, they are weakly attached to the walls of blood vessels, and under the influence of clover, the breakdown of cholesterol occurs quite quickly. The use of clover improves vascular function and lipid metabolism.

However, the long process of cholesterol accumulation complicates the task of recovery: after some time, the plaques become overgrown with connective tissue, which is problematically destroyed by the shamrock and requires a doctor's consultation and his recommendations for drug treatment.

It is recommended not only to reduce, but to completely remove fast food, weak alcohol (beer, cocktails, alcohol with a high alcohol content), premium flour, products from it, and reduce the consumption of coffee and carbonated drinks from the permanent menu. Physical activity will benefit - sports, physical education, long walks in the fresh air at a moderate pace.
