Statins are prescription drugs used to lower cholesterol. However, they also come with nasty side effects.
With this artery-scrubbing juice, you can easily wean yourself off statins, all while naturally reducing your cholesterol and inflammation levels to help prevent heart disease. If you or someone you know suffers from high cholesterol, send them this recipe!
Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs may lower cholesterol, but it’s the inflammation that proves a higher risk factor for developing heart disease. In fact, statin promoters have admitted that inflammation, not elevated cholesterol, is the cause of atherosclerosis. Reducing inflammation in the body, particularly the blood vessels, is one way to avoid using statin drugs.
Beetroots are wonderful for helping nourish the cardiovascular system. They help lower blood pressure, and remove excess arterial plaque lining arteries and veins. Celery helps flush out any excess wastes in the body, and turmeric and ginger serve as great disease-prevention, all while helping fight inflammation in the body.
In addition, plant foods naturally contain phytosterols, which help lower cholesterol. They’re also high in antioxidants, which fight off free radicals and lower inflammation levels in the body.
Drink this juice once daily. In addition to this juice, reduce or eliminate consumption of meat and dairy products, as well as other inflammation-triggering foods like soy, wheat and refined sugar. If you smoke, thing about quitting, too!

I have read several discussions about how turmeric is best absorbed, and I do not know what to think by now. Anyway I wonder if coconut oil could increase inflammations, as nearly all fats are said to do: here they say it doesn’t: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-coconut-oil-clog-arteries/, but it does increases cholesterol. Another discussion here: http://veganheath.info/pure-coconut-oil-cholesterol and here: http://www.richroll.com/blog/coconut-oil-panacea-or-artery-clogger/ What a mess! As usual, about foods and nutrition!
Coconut oil I think if used in moderation is fine 🙂
Thanks 🙂
How would it take to see results? Blood test to check cholesterol?
I would wait a month of drinking this juice daily if you have high cholesterol.
Sounds great. But I find it interesting to have a natural way to clean arteries along side of an ad for a pharmaceutical drug for chloresteral. Bummer.
Hey Lisa – If you could tell me what ad you saw, I could block it! Unfortunately, I don't always see every ad posted on my site, but when I catch one I don't agree with, I do have the options of blocking the company. Please let me know what company it was that you saw advertised.
As of now my cholesterol is around 40 for ldl and 50 for hdl. I take prevestatin since my
stroke on 3/1/18. The cholesterol and tryglycerides where very hig. Total cholesterol about 250.
Do you reccommend the juoce or another to clean out my arteries and veins?
Thanks.
This juice will help clean out the arteries and veins!
