Atherosclerosis is a disease caused by the deposition of large amounts of cholesterol on the walls of large and medium-sized arteries throughout the body, leading to hardening of the arterial walls and narrowing of the lumen. It is advisable to diversify your staple foods, consume an appropriate amount of whole grains and mixed grains, and eat plenty of seafood and marine products, such as fish, shrimp, kelp, jellyfish, and dried shrimp. Regularly consume celery, eggplant, cauliflower, shepherd’s purse, spinach, amaranth, and Chinese mustard greens, as well as fruits such as red dates, Chinese rose apples, persimmons, oranges, tangerines, kiwifruit, cherries, and pineapples. Avoid pork offal and animal fats, and strictly limit tobacco and alcohol consumption.
