This is a transcript of a video that talks about how to prevent and reverse atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of fatty plaques in the arteries that can cause heart attacks and strokes. The video explains the causes of inflammation and high cholesterol, which are the main factors that damage the arteries, and gives 10 foods that can help improve blood circulation and lower cholesterol levels. The video also discusses the role of medications, lifestyle changes, and a plant-based diet in reducing the size of the plaques. The video ends with a call to action to subscribe to the channel and watch other related videos.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Scientists in South Korea have achieved a nuclear fusion reaction at 100 million°C for 30 seconds.
2. The core of the Sun has a temperature of 15 million degrees kelvins.
3. Inflammation, cholesterol and clots are the three main factors that can damage the arteries and cause cardiovascular disease.
4. Obesity, smoking, high blood pressure, sedentary lifestyle, stress, lack of sleep, high cholesterol and an inflammatory diet are the main causes of inflammation in the body.
5. Ultra-processed foods, sugar, fructose corn syrup, refined carbohydrates, trans fats and saturated fats are the foods that increase inflammation and cholesterol levels.
6. Olive oil, fish rich in omega 3, nuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds, oats, beans, avocado, dark chocolate and red wine are the foods that can improve cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation.
7. A plant-based diet can reverse atherosclerosis in some arteries, but it is very restrictive and not for everyone.
8. Cholesterol medications such as statins, ezetimibe and pcsk9 inhibitors can reduce the size and harden the plaques in the arteries.
9. To obtain regression of the fat plaque, it is also necessary to remove the causative agents such as smoking, high blood pressure, sedentary lifestyle, stress and lack of sleep.
10. The endothelium is the carpet that lines the arteries and is responsible for vascular homeostasis.
