If your arteries look like this, then you’re good.
But if they look like this, then your heart is being overworked...
It means you get less oxygen and nutrients in the places that need it.
Long-term strain on your heart is bad because it can lead to heart failure, structural damage, and an increased risk of life-threatening conditions. Here’s why:
Heart Muscle Weakening (Heart Failure)
- When your heart works harder for extended periods, the muscle thickens and stiffens (hypertrophy).
- Over time, it loses efficiency, meaning it can’t pump blood as effectively, leading to heart failure, where organs don’t receive enough oxygen and nutrients.
Increased Risk of Heart Attack & Stroke
- Straining the heart raises blood pressure, which damages artery walls.
- This encourages plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), increasing the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke.
Irregular Heart Rhythms (Arrhythmias)
- A stressed heart is more likely to develop irregular beats (arrhythmias).
- Some, like atrial fibrillation, can lead to blood clots and stroke.
Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly)
- Chronic strain causes the heart to enlarge, making it less efficient at pumping blood.
- This can lead to fluid buildup in the lungs and legs (congestive heart failure).
Kidney and Organ Damage
- The heart is responsible for maintaining proper blood circulation.
- If it weakens, the kidneys and other organs don’t get enough blood, leading to organ failure over time.
- Shortened Lifespan
- A heart under constant strain ages faster, increasing the risk of sudden cardiac arrest or premature death.
So what is the solution?
There’s open heart surgery which might be your only option depending on how bad your case is (speak to your doctor)
But there's a natural way..
Nattokinase has some interesting scientific evidence...
36% Artery Plaque Reduction
A study of 1,062 people taking Nattokinase daily saw a dramatic reduction in artery plaque
Blood Pressure Lowered by 13 mmHg
Reduced blood pressure by an average of 13 mmHg across two studies.
Fewer Blood Clots
Travelers taking Nattokinase had significantly fewer blood clots on long flights compared to a placebo group.
Heart Attack & Stroke Risk Reduced
A massive 16-year study with 30,000 participants found Nattokinase reduced heart attack risk by 25% and stroke risk by 33%.
