I am a 42-year-old male with vascular blockage. I would like to ask, what should I eat to help clear the blocked blood vessels?

Dr. Wang Xin
When blood vessels are blocked, the following foods can be chosen to help clear the blockage: 1. Foods rich in dietary fiber: such as celery and mushrooms. These foods can help reduce blood viscosity, regulate cholesterol levels in the blood, and benefit vascular health. 2. Foods rich in vitamins: especially fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, such as apples, green peppers, and tomatoes. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and helps maintain the elasticity of blood vessel walls. 3. Foods rich in prostaglandin A: onions are a representative example. Prostaglandin A can dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation, and thereby help prevent vascular blockage. Although certain foods may have a supportive role in clearing vascular blockages, their effects are limited. If the blockage is severe, timely medical attention is necessary, and drug therapy or surgical treatment should be conducted in accordance with medical advice.
