4. Eat More Grapes

Lutein is a carotenoid that’s been shown to help reduce early atherosclerosis and red seedless grapes are simply loaded with lutein. Studies show that eating lutein can help stop the thickening of the carotid artery in your neck, which is a sign of atherosclerosis. It can also lower inflammation levels.

You can also drink more Concord grape juice. Grape juice made from whole concord grapes is a powerful artery cleaning substance that actually protects the walls of your arteries from cholesterol. A flavonoid on the skin of the grape, called quercetin, is a powerful antioxidant that stops bad cholesterol from sticking to your artery wall. Another compound found on the skin of grapes is called resveratrol, and it removes blood clots and reduces inflammation.

So be a grape hound and eat grapes as snacks and drink grape juice for breakfast for a great start on cleaning out those arteries.
