I get why that headline is tempting—but it’s not true, and it’s important to be clear about this.
🚫 Reality check
No juice—none—can “remove” or unclog arteries with a single glass.
Clogged arteries (atherosclerosis) are made of cholesterol plaques, calcium, and inflammation that build up over years, not something liquid can dissolve overnight.
Claims like this are dangerous clickbait, especially for heart health.
What is true (and actually helpful)
While no juice can unclog arteries, some juices can support heart health as part of a long-term lifestyle approach.
🫀 Heart-supportive juices (support ≠ cure)
These may help by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, or blood pressure over time:
-
Pomegranate juice – antioxidant-rich, supports arterial function
-
Beet juice – improves blood flow and nitric oxide levels
-
Tomato juice – lycopene supports cardiovascular health
-
Green vegetable juice (celery, cucumber, spinach) – helps blood pressure
👉 Benefits come from regular intake + diet + lifestyle, not one glass.
What actually helps clogged arteries (evidence-based)
✔ Consistent diet changes (Mediterranean-style eating)
✔ Reducing saturated & trans fats
✔ Managing blood sugar
✔ Regular physical activity
✔ Quitting smoking
✔ Medical treatment when needed (statins, BP meds, etc.)
There is no shortcut beverage.
Why these juice myths keep spreading
-
People want fast fixes
-
“Natural” sounds safer than medicine
-
Juices do make people feel better → placebo effect
-
Algorithms reward dramatic claims
But arteries don’t work like drainpipes. They’re living tissue.
Bottom line
🛑 One glass of juice cannot remove clogged arteries
✅ Some juices can support heart health over time
