Our heart is one of the most important organs, but, surprisingly, we take care of it the least, loading it every day with stress and unhealthy diets. And that’s too bad because fatty food increases cholesterol levels, which leads to vascular plaques that prevent the heart from working correctly.

Bright Side brings you 15 products that will clean your blood vessels, improve your overall well-being, and decrease the risk of heart attacks in the future. As a bonus, we added a recipe for a special drink for healthy blood vessels.
