When metabolic processes fail in the body, this inevitably leads to a jump in cholesterol levels in the blood.
Excess “bad” cholesterol begins to accumulate on the vascular walls, which, in turn, leads to blockage of blood vessels. This increased concentration of low-density lipids leads to the formation of cholesterol plaques. All this causes the development of heart attacks and atherosclerosis.
You can avoid unpleasant consequences with the help of special means that help normalize metabolism and cleanse blood vessels.
One of the effective recipes for cholesterol is a mixture of natural honey and cinnamon.
Effect on cholesterol levels
With the help of honey and cinnamon, cleansing the blood of excess cholesterol occurs quite quickly. This mixture seems to “bind” cholesterol and gently remove it from the vascular channels.
Over time, plaques that have already formed during this time begin to dissolve because they do not receive replenishment. The blood is cleansed and saturated with vitamins and minerals contained in the components of the mixture.
This quick effect of lowering cholesterol is due to the fact that spice and honey seem to enhance each other. The pollen extract contained in honey breaks down fats, and cinnamon speeds up this process. This helps not only with cardiovascular pathologies, but also with many other diseases.
Remember that preference should be given only to pure and natural ingredients, without preservatives, additives and other chemicals.

Why do you need to cleanse blood vessels?
Cleansing the blood vessels frees the lumens of the brain vessels from unnecessary deposits of salts and cholesterol plaques, which can cause serious and dangerous diseases such as stroke, heart attack, and atherosclerosis.
Clean blood vessels ensure an uninterrupted supply of nutrients and oxygen to brain cells, which improves their functioning. To put it in other words: all parameters of brain activity increase from such a procedure.
And as a result of this: headaches go away, blood pressure returns to normal, irritability goes away, a person becomes more resistant to nervous overload and stress, and becomes less weather dependent.
And most importantly, the head begins to think better, memory improves, as if an additional source of energy appears in the body
And if you don’t clean the vessels, what will this lead to?
If a person has a predisposition to the deposition of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels, eventually this process, as it grows, can lead to disability. Unfortunately, the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels in most people begins at a young age, but at the initial stages of this process, the symptoms are very mild and people do not pay attention to them.
And when the signs appear very noticeably, it can be very difficult to change anything during this period. As a rule, this is typical for patients with strokes (when bleeding occurs in the brain).
How often should blood vessels be cleansed?
A person should clean blood vessels depending on his condition; usually, this procedure is sufficient - once a year. Everything is individual, many people who control their diet, limit the intake of unhealthy foods, include more raw vegetables, fruits and herbs in their diet and often seek advice from a nutritionist, carry out blood vessel cleaning procedures much less frequently (once every five years).
You just need to monitor your health, undergo special studies that help determine the patency of blood vessels and the degree of their slagging.
Is it possible to clean at home?
You can clean the blood vessels of the brain at home. Traditional medicine, over a long period of time, has accumulated many effective and safe recipes. You just need to strictly follow the instructions, observe the proportions specified in the recipes and adhere to the requirements mentioned in them.
During treatment of blood vessels, it is necessary to place greater emphasis on low-calorie nutrition: include seafood, nuts, vegetables and fruits, vegetable fats and green tea in your diet, which will help soften cholesterol plaques, prevent the absorption of cholesterol and inhibit the formation of new deposits.
