Science tells us hardening of the arteries is a 2-step process:
Step 1:
Step 1 is free radical damage. No, a free radical isn't a hippy from the 60s and 70s; it's an unbalanced molecule that doesn't like being unbalanced! Free radicals are molecules that occur naturally during the oxidation process of the body using a molecule's energy. Sometimes the molecule will drop an electron. He doesn't like it, so he goes screaming through the arteries ripping and tearing the artery wall like the Tasmanian Devil, searching for an electron.

The free radicals can have damaging effects on the body cells and tissues. Free radical activity plays a large role in aging and other forms of damage.

But AMS's Vital Chelates Plus® can help to neutralize free radicals and halt their aging activity.
 
Step 2:

Step 2 is the hardening of the arteries scenario - cholesterol is sent to patch up the wound to keep fluids from seeping out while the wall heals. You can see that it's a tiny tear and a small patch…it doesn't look too scary, but we compound things by eating processed foods with non-food additives and we suffer from stress. This creates even more free radicals that tear up the artery wall and create excessive plaque buildup while collecting and drawing metals from the blood. Your artery goes from this large open tube to this very narrow tube for blood flow.

As you can imagine, pushing blood from a 'tube this big down into a tube this small will raise your blood pressure, but that's not the most dangerous condition. Platelet clumping can now block this small opening, and that's the scary stuff!
Now, if everything were equal, our diet would moderate or repair the damage as it was designed by Mother Nature to do. But good diet alone cannot produce optimum heart health.

Now we know what causes hardening of the artery, what can you do to help reverse the effects of aging, and the impact on your life?
