Studies have shown its potential association with supporting healthy arteries.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid made by your gut microbes when you feed them fiber from vegetables. It&#8217;s also been linked to supporting normal arterial function.<\/p>\n<p>Lycopene, from tomatoes and other vegetables, has also shown promise in supporting the normal thickness and flexibility of artery walls. Just be sure to pair it with a healthy fat like olive oil for better absorption!<\/p>\n<p>And we can\u2019t forget omega-3s, which can help support a healthy inflammatory response in the arteries.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin K2 plays a crucial role too. It activates proteins that support where calcium goes in the body, helping to prevent its accumulation in unwanted places.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the thing\u2026 While all these natural compounds offer incredible support, there\u2019s one underlying factor that significantly impacts all of them: insulin sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a direct relationship between normal insulin levels and healthy arteries.<\/p>\n<p>Combining a low-carb eating plan, like keto, with intermittent fasting can help stabilize blood sugar levels and improve cellular insulin sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p>It makes you think, doesn&#8217;t it? Our bodies are complex systems, and sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from understanding the root causes.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re dealing with fatigue, cravings, poor sleep, brain fog, or constant stress\u2026you\u2019re not broken.
