Clean Your Arteries in 24 Hours: The Ultimate 1-Day Detox Plan | Dr Hansaji

#drhansaji #theyogaInstitute #theyogaInstitute_
Dr. Hansaji explains that atherosclerosis is not just a buildup of cholesterol. It's a more serious inflammatory process exacerbated by stress hormones, poor digestion, and a lack of metabolic rest.
This one-day diet plan is designed to:
• Calm inflammation
• Support cholesterol metabolism
• Improve circulation
• Give rest to digestion
• Reduce stress load on the heart
This plan can be followed once a week or once in 15 days depending on your strength and medical condition.
Inflammation reduces arterial flexibility, increasing heart strain and blood pressure. Periodic digestive rest allows the body to repair and restore balance
Early Morning (6–7 am)
• 1 glass warm water
• ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• A pinch of turmeric
Benefits:
• Lemon juice supports liver function and cholesterol metabolism
• Turmeric reduces inflammatory markers
• Warm water improves circulation and digestion
Sit quietly or walk slowly for 10 minutes. Avoid phone or news.
Breakfast (8–9 am)
• Papaya, apple, or pear
• 5–6 soaked almonds

This meal nourishes without burdening metabolism.

• Diabetics should moderate fruit intake

This plan supports but does not replace medical treatment.
Hansaji reminds us that arteries respond to rhythm, not extremes. When stress reduces, inflammation calms. When digestion improves, cholesterol metabolism improves. When meals are simple and timely, circulation becomes smoother
