Vitamin K2, which most Western diets lack, guides the deposition of calcium in our bodies. It guides calcium to where it belongs, bones and teeth, and pulls it from where it doesn't, blood vessels and cartilage.
Another piece of good news is that it works very quickly, in weeks and months, not years.
There are some foods which contain K2; natto and sauerkraut come to mind. But it is easiest to just take a supplement.
As plaque deposits age they calcify. The positive aspect to that is they then no longer rupture- they are stable. (Plaque rupture is the mechanism for heart attacks 90% of the time. The other 10% happen because of gradual stenosis.)
Avoid all oils. All oils destroy the endothelium, which is the gateway to atherosclerotic heart disease.
