Garlic is an excellent home remedy for the heart, as it contains allicin, a substance that helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides in the body, as effective as statins prescribed by doctors. To use garlic as a means of preventing heart disease, it is recommended to consume it raw, and a good way to take advantage of its medicinal properties is to drink water flavored with garlic. See the recipe:
Ingredients
- 5 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed 500 ml of water
Method of preparation
Place the garlic cloves in a glass bottle, together with the water, and let stand for 6 to 8 hours. Shake well. Drink 1 cup of this water on an empty stomach and another before going to sleep, every day, as a complementary way to prevent and treat heart disease.
But beware, as this home remedy should not replace medical recommendations and medications.
Fresh garlic should be used for this recipe, because the concentration of allicin in it is higher.
