I am taking raw garlic with my evening meal.

I am taking raw garlic with my evening meal. It seems garlic can lower blood pressure by 5 to 10%. As mentioned in my previous post, garlic can lower cholesterol 15% which is a plus factor (Using food to control cholesterol). Garlic can also thin blood.A previous post also mentioned kefir, which I take occasionally. Another weapon in the arsenal against high blood.

And cut or reduce smoking, which is not a problem as I don't smoke.And my report card - the last test I had done showed that my diastolic blood pressure was reduced from 90 to 85, which is a good sign. I will have to take the test again soon.

Blood pressure: 120 over 80
Blood sugar: 4.6 mmol/L
Looks like it is working.
