- popped 6y agoVascular diseases like aneurism are reduced significantly on a plant based diet. Hope you get to read this before it gets downvoted to oblivion.
- haecceity 6y agoWhy down vote this? People don't like vegetables?
- hthtegr 6y agoIt's threatening to their model of how health works. I suspect it's not just a down vote, it's a passionate button smashing one. I was very pro meat and was researching counter arguments to my vegan mother in law when I, sadly, found out the science is about as contested as whether or not aliens have visited earth. I.e. a lot in the general populous but basically not at all in the bonefide nutritional science community.

There are certain supplements, which can help with it [0], specifically: * Alpha-lipoic acid * Calcium * Folic Acid (actually, Folate), Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Betaine * Magnesium * Omega-3 Fatty Acids * Potassium * Vitamin C * Vitamin E * Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) * Selenium * Bilberry * Garlic * Ginkgo * Ginseng * Turmeric [0]: http://pennstatehershey.adam.com/content.aspx?productid=107&pid=33&gid=000159 http://pennstatehershey.adam.com/content.aspx?productid=107&...

- missedthecue 6y agoWhat can you do about a weakened blood vessel?

- IvyMike 6y agoMake sure your blood pressure is under control, as hypertension can be a risk factor and also tends to run in families.
