There is no single food or drink that “cleans” arterial plaque. Plaque is a long-term process within the vessel wall that develops over years. The real goal is to slow progression, protect the endothelium, and reduce the risk drivers that feed plaque growth. Lowering LDL cholesterol (through diet and, when indicated, medication), controlling blood pressure, quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and managing body weight form the backbone. A fiber-rich diet, reducing trans fats and ultra-processed foods, and increasing omega-3 sources can help reduce inflammatory burden and improve metabolic markers. In higher-risk individuals, medications such as statins can support plaque stabilization—this is not “cleaning,” but making plaques less likely to rupture while slowing progression. Plaque management is a disciplined combination of time, measurement, and evidence-based intervention. Avoid fast claims; invest in long-term strategy.
