Sentence inquiry

I saw this sentence and I think it is flawed. Do you agree?

"There are foods that can prevent clogged arteries."

I am not sure if it's correct to use 'clogged arteries' and think that 'arteries from clogging' or 'artery blockage' are what should have been used. Do you agree?
  

Top answer

Arteries are like tubes that carry blood from the heart to various parts of the body. Sometimes they become ‘clogged’ with foreign particles called contaminates. Clogged arteries are a health problem and should be prevented.
