Arteriosclerosis is the thickening and hardening of the arteries due to the build-up of calcium deposits on the insides of the artery walls. Heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and ischemia (starvation of the cells due to insufficient circulation) may be the result of arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis.

 

Recommended Lifestyle Changes:

The American Heart Association suggests improving nutritional habits, exercise regularly, reduce stress and stop smoking. (For tips to stop smoking, please click here.)

Choose foods high in vitamin E to improve circulation, including dark green leafy vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts, wheat germ, soybeans and whole grains.
