The American Heart Association claim that one out of every three adults suffers from high blood pressure.
The vegetable which can make wonders for your health in regard to hypertension is the garlic. It normalizes and regulates the high blood pressure. Many studies have verified that garlic successfully lowers both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
The secret of garlic`s ability to considerably reduce blood pressure lies in the active substance known as garlic sulphides and allicin, found in the garlic itself. Allicin is a substance which relaxes the blood vessels thus reduces the pressure and any other damage that may affect the blood.
Additionally, it interferes with the effects of angiotensim (hormone that smoothly contracts the muscles, causes vasoconstriction and increases blood pressure). According to various studies, this compound is very good at preventing and treating diseases due to its antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.
There is yet another reason why the garlic is that good at treating hypertension and that is its ability to stimulate the production of hydrogen sulphide and nitric oxide synthase. According to some experts, these compounds assist in relaxing the blood vessels.
Recipe for the Best Natural Remedy for Lowering Blood Pressure
For treating high blood pressure, take one clove of garlic each morning.
For cramps, seizures and nervous spasms- put one clove of garlic in a glass of hot milk.
You can prepare the garlic oil by putting 8 ounces of previously peeled minced garlic in a wide-mouthed jar. Add olive oil (until you cover the garlic). Close the jar and shake it several times each day. It is recommended to stay in a warm place for three days.
