DRINK 1 CUP A DAY to Unclog Your Arteries: A Synopsis
In this enlightening video, Dr. Eric Berg discusses a powerful drink that can help unclog arteries and promote cardiovascular health. He explains the root causes of artery damage, including endothelial damage that leads to inflammation, high blood pressure, and the formation of clots—all major factors contributing to heart attacks and strokes.
The star of the show is cacao powder, rich in flavonols, which has been shown to enhance nitric oxide production, acting similarly to exercise by improving blood flow and arterial flexibility. Coupling cacao with beetroot juice powder further boosts nitric oxide levels, creating a potent heart-healthy drink.
Dr. Berg emphasizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle, incorporating low-carb diets, regular exercise, and sufficient magnesium to counteract arterial issues. With just one cup of this drink daily, viewers are encouraged to take a proactive approach to their cardiovascular health. Join Dr. Berg as he unpacks the science behind these natural remedies and offers practical tips for incorporating them into your routine for a healthier heart.

If you have damage to your arteries, you’re at an increased risk for high blood pressure and clots, which can cause strokes and heart attacks. When you visit the doctor for these conditions, they typically address the symptoms rather than examining the root cause.
The root cause of plaque in the arteries is endothelial damage. Endothelial damage and inflammation are repaired by plaque, composed of calcium, cholesterol, and protein.
Arterial damage decreases nitric oxide levels, resulting in less control over blood pressure and an increased risk of clotting. Around 90% of heart attacks come from clots!
Sunlight is vital to increase nitric oxide. Nasal breathing and magnesium are also essential.
You can reverse arterial plaque buildup through a process called reverse cholesterol transport. This mechanism transports plaque in the arteries back to the liver for recycling. This process can be sped up with the help of the following:
•Niacin
•HDL cholesterol
•Exercise
•Fasting
•Low-carb diets
•Bile salts
Magnesium controls calcium, so increasing your intake can help to remove it from the arteries. Polyphenols protect the endothelial layer of the arteries, and vitamin K2 helps prevent arterial calcification.
Cacao powder is the main component of the best drink for your arteries. It’s high in flavonols and stimulates enzymes in the body to produce more nitric oxide. Roasted cacao has been shown to increase blood flow to the arteries, similar to the effects of exercise.
Cacao is also beneficial for your heart, brain, skin, and other organs and tissues in the body. It has an accumulative effect and can build up in your system over time.
To prepare your drink, combine cacao powder in a glass of water. You can drink it cold or warm. Add beetroot juice powder for an additional boost of nitric oxide and an interesting flavor. You can also add a pinch of sea salt and a scoop of magnesium glycinate for the most potent effect!

does tea do the same thing as coffee?
A GOOD ALTERNATIVE BY DR. BERG IF YOUR ARTIRIES ARE CLOGGED…IF YOU DO NOT WANT SURGERY…OTHERS CAN RELAX.
Dr .Berg thank you ..❤🎉
Cacao powder.
Beatroo Juice powder
Sea Salt
Magnesium Glycinate
Warm Water
2 hours before or after coffee
I take L- citrulline and arginine supplement for nitric oxide production
Which Cacao powder do you use
You don't "get inflammation" Dr. Inflammation is a symptom of very, very specific reason, of which you as most are ignorant of, or you seem to think the rest of us are, judging by your cocksure delivery!
In your huge ignorance, you avoid to acknowledge that "inflammation" is a result of tisue injury, any tisue. The most common cause are Aflatoxins, not "plaque". Perhaps this wasn't taught, to you, nor have you upgraded since you graduated, Im guessing not at the top of your class.
Aflatoxins, Burn through tissues, of anybody at any age, plaque or not , cause DNA mutations, not merely "inflammation", then the likes of you proclam the Cancer diagnosis, as if now worthy of a Nobel prize for it. Of course I expect you have no clue, why would you, as to how to reverse the "inflammation" as you have no clue what caused it! Your "glass a day" approach to medicine is absolutely criminal!
This is not a poem, but it could be one of horror. I sincerely hope "a glass a day" works for your "inflammation"!
I thought you were going to say Beet Root. That truly is the best Blood juice.
Real cacao powder is bitter, how are you going to drink that.
Does this drink break your fast, Doc?
Garlic, parsley, beetroot, ginger, chlorophyll and green tea
I have been craving caocao powder and dark chocolate lately, and suggested this video
Cacao powder
Hello drBerg. IT 'S GREAT SUM UP ALSO PRECIOUS TOPIIC. I am deeply grateful your advice
How about adding a little cinnamon & ginger. Yummy & good for you!!
I don't know if this is a good idea, but I mix 1 tablespoon of raw cacao, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and half a banana with whey protein every day and drink it before or after a workout. I always buy whey protein without any sweeteners or flavors, so the cacao, cinnamon and banan give it a great taste 😋 try 😜👍
Where do you get cacoa powder. A health food store?
What about oxalates??
What is cacow? or caco? never heard of that? I know of a chocolate drink cocco made with a brown powder. Only issue is cocco is full of sugar.
Great info! Just purchased organic raw cold pressed cocao and beet root powder. Everything else I have on hand. Thank you.
I love these videos. Beetroot contains inorganic nitrate. A less expensive alternative is food-grade potassium nitrate, used to cure meats. It's never recommended, as the lethal dose starts at 5 grams. If I'm not eating a high-nitrate vegetable, I will add a pinch to my water in the morning, along with Celtic salt, potassium citrate, and magnesium glycinate. Also, a scoop of the amino acid Citruline, as found in the Citrulline-NO Cycle and used for vasodilation, neurotransmission, and immune responses. (Some people find arginine, which is also in the cycle, triggers their cold sores.)
Do you have a recommanded cacao product that you use?
Can I get the full benefits if I use milk and honey with the powder?
but what happens when you have a body that wees out the sugar and it doesnt go into bloodstream like me if i dont eat sugar i cant even move i have zero energy.
Thank you for this! What a great idea and interesting combination… look forward to trying. Good to know about separating cacao and coffee, as that was my first thought.
It's been said cocao has heavy metals.
Unfortunately cacao powder is high in lead and cadmium and also has many oxolates
What is the weight of a scoop
Glad you made this video. Currently I drink beetroot with creatine. Can I add cacow to that as well?
Is it one or the other or all together ?
do you add sugar or get the unsweatened stuff and just drink it with water?
John Hewlett’s nitric oxide zformula CARDIO MIRACLE‼️
Please help. What do you consider 1 scoop to mean? What is it's measurement? And only once a day or twice a day? Thank you !
Thank you Dr Berg😊 I've clogged arteries, would try all the things you told
Sir u are very good at explaining in simple language ,thank you sir. But if you were in other country differently the pharmacy mafia may target you and your family thanking the country you reside giving you a freedom….of speech…
My mother is 74 a have early signs of dementia. She has high blood pressure. Will she benefit from these supplements and drink even if she keep her high carb diet. It would be difficult to change her diet over time at least.
Well, what a bummer. Not only is it high in Arginine, (shingles food), I've tried some really good organic Cacao lots of times, but each time I use it I start getting premature atrial contractions. I usually eat that by itself. None of the other foods I consume along with it do not do that on their own.
Megadosing oxolates doesn’t sound like a good idea
There are SO MANY instructional videos on this subject of clogged arteries…. FINALLY, here, we have one that instantly makes sense and offers a very duplicateable SOLUTION!!
We love what you do Doctor
I fast for 16-18 hours before I break it for my set window to eat solid foods after. I feel great! I went from 225 lbs to 165 lbs 😊. I am no longer pre diabetic and I am able to eat carbs and sugars BUT in moderation and instead of reaching for candy ALL the time I grab grapes 🍇 or any type of fruit that is sweet.Or healthy homemade sweet treats that replace things like processed candy and treats/carbs. I will say after doing this eating fasting life style I have found that my cravings for candy and refined and processed foods are non existent now. I am excited for the health benefits I am already experiencing looking forward to the many more benefits in my future.
Ok here's the problem. You just mentioned 2 things good for you But unless you can put it in some form that you can get it down this info is useless. Tried the coco before, dry and bitter. Even in coffee. I don't even like dark chocolate. I can't even look at a beet. Their disgusting. Can you get any of this in capsule form???
How doʻ you diagnose endothelial damage
I would be careful with taking cacao regularly. It is loaded with oxalates. I used to drink it every day but had a boil show up near my eye. It went away after 2 days of taking calcium and k2/d3 and lemon juice.
Take temporarily to repair an injury. It sends out stem cells. It's amazing. Just be aware of the oxalates. Too much is not a good thing.
pure poison
