Fortunately, science has identified several powerful changes you can make to not just halt the progression of atherosclerosis, but potentially reverse some of the damage. From food to fitness to stress management, these daily habits act as natural medicine for your heart. Let’s explore the best evidence-backed strategies to protect your arteries and your future.
