4. Turmeric
This is an Indian spice that reduces cardiovascular diseases. Turmeric contains a polyphenol known as curcumin. Curcumin helps to reduce approximately 26 percent of the cholesterol and plaque build-up in the arteries hence preventing clogging. Moreover, due to its anti-inflammatory aspect, curcumin helps in preventing the risk of arteriosclerosis by lowering inflammation in case the arteries are damaged.
