Can a Birdseed-Cinnamon Drink Unclog Arteries?

It's important to buy birdseed and cinnamon that are suitable for human consumption. This is because that which is for human consumption won't contain silica.

Eating a diet rich in saturated fat can cause cholesterol levels to rise and arteries to become clogged. Therefore, it’s important to improve your eating habits, while following your doctor’s instructions. And within the diet, you can include natural preparations such as a birdseed-cinnamon drink.

In this case, eating healthy means reducing the consumption of saturated fats, choosing more natural and fresh foods rich in fiber (such as vegetables and fruits), minimizing the consumption of salt and sugar, eating lean, skinless meats, and drinking enough water throughout the day.

Can birdseed-cinnamon impact the arteries?

Arteries are the vessels responsible for transporting blood through the human body. Among the dangerous consequences of their obstruction is too little pumping of blood to the heart.

The most common symptoms of artery blockage are:

• Fatigue
• Chest pain
• Fluid retention
• Respiratory problems

What causes clogged arteries?

Arteries can become clogged by several factors, although the most prominent is usually the diet. An unhealthy diet (rich in sugar, salt, and trans and saturated fats) will raise cholesterol levels and can lead to hypertension, atherosclerosis, obesity, and other health problems.

Obesity and smoking can also help the spread of this problem.

What are ways to avoid clogged arteries?

To avoid clogged arteries, the best thing to do on a daily basis is to eat a balanced diet, exercise (at least 30-40 minutes a day), and avoid alcohol and tobacco consumption.

Experts at the Fundación Española del Corazón have made available to the general public and patients with cardiovascular diseases, a decalogue for a healthy lifestyle that can serve as a reference.

Within a balanced diet, there are those who consider that they can include natural preparations, such as the following drink that we’re going to tell you about, canary seed, and cinnamon water.

Birdseed and cinnamon water

Birdseed for human consumption is a food that’s recently been included in the diets of patients with diabetes and hypertension since it’s hypothesized it may contribute to the regulation of blood glucose and cholesterol levels.

One of the ways it’s being used is by making canary seed and cinnamon water, which is a homemade vegetable drink with no added sugars.

Although there isn’t enough evidence that canary seed can contribute to your health in the terms previously mentioned, it’s proven that cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar levels. Furthermore, this is what’s beneficial for clogged arteries.

The Spanish Nutrition Foundation indicates that cinnamon contains proteins, iron, calcium, zinc, potassium, selenium, vitamins B6, C, phenols, and aldehydes.

To prepare the birdseed-cinnamon water you’ll need:

Ingredients for birdseed-cinnamon drink

• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 c. of water
• ½ tbsp. of birdseed

Instructions

• Firstly, boil the water
• When it reaches a boil, add the canary seeds, and let infuse for 5 minutes
• Then, add the cinnamon and let it boil for 10 minutes
• Finally, after the indicated time, remove the infusion from the fire and let it sit
• Serve and drink

You should drink canary seed and cinnamon water in moderation throughout the day. Furthermore, it should always be a complement to a healthy lifestyle. Never as a substitute for main meals nor as a substitute for medications prescribed by your treating physician.

Once again, we remind you that for any cardiovascular problem you may have, it’s always best to consult your doctor and follow their instructions. The drink that we’ve told you about should only use it as a complement.
