Garlic: Ancient Cure Backed by Science
Studies have shown that aged garlic
extract lowers blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides. But its
greatest benefit may be reducing arterial plaque, also called
calcification of arteries, which many integrative physicians believe to
be the most reliable predictor of ill health and death from heart
disease.

6 Natural Ways to Lower High Blood Pressure
Dr. Budoff recommends aged garlic extract.
“This is one of the most effective and scientifically proven ways to
lower blood pressure as effectively as medication,” he says. “Aged
garlic extract helps relax blood vessels and increases blood flow.”
Here are five additional ways Dr. Crandall recommends for lowering blood pressure naturally:
1. Take 300-500 milligrams of magnesium daily.
Magnesium is an important mineral that helps build strong bones, but it
also helps lower blood pressure and can help control irregular
heartbeats.
2. Exercise.
Walking one hour a day will help lower blood pressure naturally. If you
must, you can divide up the hour but if you do it all at once you will
boost the effect and help your body create a collateral blood flow,
which brings more blood to the heart.
3. Lose weight.
If you can achieve the ideal weight that you weighed in high school,
you may very well eliminate your need for blood pressure medications and
drugs to lower cholesterol as well. The loss of 10 pounds generally
means the elimination of one high blood pressure drug.
4. Reduce stress.
When you are under stress, your body releases unhealthy hormones, like
adrenaline and cortisol, which over time can result in higher blood
pressure. Measures that reduce stress, like spending time with friends,
attending church, meditating, or even playing with pets, can lower blood
pressure.
5. Sleep an extra hour a night.
Research shows that a lack of sleep not only contributes to high blood
pressure, but it can make the condition drug resistant, meaning that
hypertensive medication won’t work.

Fish Oil Reduces Diabetes Risk
The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and fish oils reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes, says a Finnish study.
Type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly widespread
throughout the world. Overweight is the most significant risk factor,
which means that diet and other lifestyle factors play important roles
in the development of Type 2 diabetes. Earlier research has established
that weight management, exercise and high serum linoleic acid
concentrations, among other things, are associated with reduced risk of
diabetes.
