Shares what you need to know about your endothelium for optimal health. If you're interested in learning more, check out his mindbodygreen class.The epithelium is one of the four basic types of tissues in the body (along with connective tissues, muscles, and nerves) that lines all organs, inside and out.

1.Prevention of inappropriate blood clotting
2.Relaxation of arteries, promoting normal blood pressure
What harms our endothelium?
All the classic risk factors for early heart and artery damage such as smoking, elevated blood sugar (pre-diabetes and diabetes), obesity, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol (particularly oxidized LDL cholesterol, which I measure in my clinic), can damage our endothelium.

1.Spinach, both green and red, kale, bok choy 2.Rhubarb
3.Beets 3.Watermelon, including the rind
4.Nuts, particularly pine nuts 4.Greens, particularly arugula
