Today in the United States there are over 50 million people who suffer
from high blood pressure and many are on prescription drugs to help
control it. However it has been found through a number of studies that
garlic is a great way of dealing with high blood pressure. Often it
appears that garlic can lower a persons blood pressure levels by 5 to
10% as well as lowering cholesterol, triglyceride levels and discourage
clot formation as well as promoting blood formation.
But garlic can thin the blood and it should not be combined with
prescription blood-thinners such as Coumadin (Warfarin) or Trental
(Pentoxifylline) or with natural blood thinners such as Vitamin E or
Ginkgo. It is normally recommended that those taking garlic should stop
taking it a few weeks before they have any form of surgery and also not
take it for a few weeks after any surgery.
However, it should be noted that garlic is not a substitute for blood
pressure medication, blood pressure medicine or changes in lifestyle.
But it has a long standing reputation as being an aid that assists with
blood pressure management but this as yet has not been conclusively
established. But it does play a role in reducing systolic and diastolic
blood pressure.
Blood pressure relates to the force of blood against the walls of the
arteries, veins and chambers of a persons heart as it is pumped through
their body. High blood pressure occurs usually when the blood is pumped
with great difficulty against the arteries by a person’s
heart which over time begins to damage the lining of the blood vessels.
It is important that you have regular blood pressure level checks in
order to help keep it in order. But as you see garlic and high blood
pressure can be eased by taking a regular amount of garlic in your
diet.
