Garlic lowers blood pressure

Research has shown that garlic can help lower blood pressure.  

“Garlic supplements have shown effectiveness in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients, similarly to first-line standard anti-hypertensive medications. 

"Kyolic garlic has also shown promise in improving cardiovascular health by reducing arterial stiffness, elevated cholesterol levels and blood 'stickiness'. In addition, the prebiotic properties in garlic increase gut microbial richness and diversity,” states an article published in researchgate.net

Garlic fights bacteria and boosts the immune system

Garlic is popular, especially around the winter season. This is because a lot of people suffer from colds and flu during the season and garlic has been proven to help fight off the flu virus.
