5. Garlic
Garlic has a long history of being healthy (and keeping away vampires!). Garlic lowers blood pressure and may lower LDL and triglycerides. Researchers suggest using aged garlic supplements. The recommended dose is one or two cloves of raw garlic (crush and swallow in water) or 300 mg of garlic tablets.
If you are taking blood thinner, talk to your doctor first. Garlic alone won’t lower your cholesterol as much as other foods but using it generously in your cooking will definitely help.
