Key foods to help prevent clogged arteries

Atherosclerosis is a potentially deadly condition that develops when fatty deposits accumulate along artery walls, resulting in the thickening or hardening of these vital channels. Arteries play the crucial role of delivering oxygen and nutrients to every organ, tissue, and cell in our body, so it's imperative they remain supple and free from a buildup of plaque. Failure to maintain a normal, healthy blood flow can result in heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke. Regular exercise is one way of keeping these vessels in tip-top condition, but did you know that there are certain foods that can help thin the arteries and reduce the risk of them narrowing and restricting blood flow? Click through and find out what to eat to help prevent clogged arteries.

Inflammatory bowel disease: everything you need to know

The news that a major cause of inflammatory bowl disease (IBD) has been found has once again put this distressing medical condition under the spotlight. A group of researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and University College London announced in June 2024 that they have identified a weak spot in our DNA that is present in 95% of people with the disease. This system flaw makes it much easier for some immune cells to go haywire and drive excessive inflammation in the bowels, a major symptom of IBD. In addition, the team found drugs that already exist seem to reverse the disease in laboratory experiments and are now aiming for human trials, reports the BBC. While there is currently no cure for IBD, the findings present renewed hope for millions of sufferers around the world whose lives have been blighted by this painful and miserable medical condition.
