STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Your endothelium is the collective group of cells that line your blood vessels, representing about 1% of your body mass and a surface area of 5,000 square meters
The endothelium is directly involved in a number of diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and chronic kidney failure
Black raspberry decreases markers of inflammation and improves endothelial function, reducing risk factors of cardiovascular disease
Drinking green tea is associated with an increase in flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery, a measure of endothelium function
Pomegranate, grape seed extract and garlic are other natural compounds that support endothelial health
