Garlic is very rich herb consisting of many vitamins and minerals. Some of them being: vitamin A, B, C, B2, zinc and Calcium. Full of antioxidants, it seems to be able to lessen plaque buildup and reduce chest pain. It is also a mild coagulant helping to thin blood, lowering B.P., raising HDL while lowering LDL, cholesterol and triglycerides. Thus it helps to prevent arteriosclerosis, hence reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. Moderate amount of garlic everyday can help in keeping the heart generally healthy. Best way to use it, is to crush 2 to 3 cloves of garlic into fine paste, leave it for 10 minute , mix it water and drink 30 minute after taking food. Allicin and other powerful medicinal compounds are produced when garlic is finally crushed and left for about 10 minutes.
