5. Garlic Tames an Angry Heart
If you are worried about heart disease, heart attacks and stroke, garlic is your new best friend. Garlic lowers blood pressure as effectively as prescription drugs. You need about 4 cloves a day, so it is a big dose. Build up to that amount or you may get an upset stomach.
Garlic’s effectiveness is the same whether you use raw garlic, powdered supplement, or an aged supplement. The biggest benefit to aged garlic is that you won’t be breathing and sweating garlic.
