Can Dieting Improve Carotid Artery Blockage?
Blockage in the carotid arteries is a potentially life-threatening situation that can lead to partial loss of brain function or even stroke. While severe blockage almost always necessitates surgery for effective repair, moderate to minor blockage can be helped by taking steps to eat a healthier diet. If you, or someone you know, has been diagnosed with partial carotid artery blockage and elects not to pursue surgery, dieting can make a difference.
