you know i don’t know why they don’t use garlic as one of the key medications for the heart well actually i do there’s really no money in it but there is some powerful information i want to share with you today in relationship to garlic and heart health now of course anything i say is not meant to diagnose or replace your medical care check with your doctor before implementing this but you should at least know this information relating to how powerful garlic is in relationship to your cardiovascular function so today i’m going to show you something very simple inexpensive garlic water garlic has shown similar effects in lowering blood pressure to standard blood pressure lowering medication but that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what garlic can do for the heart let’s cover some additional benefits first okay it’s antivirals most colds are virus in nature so at the first sign of a cold you should be consuming garlic anti-fungal now if you have a candida infection or your tongue is like has a white film on it garlic is the answer for that and when people take antibiotics they end up with a candida infection because the bacteria was supposed to keep this candida in check and without that it can overgrow so garlic is very good at countering candida which is a type of fungus garlic is also antibacterial you can take it as a natural antibiotic it’s good for tb and even aids pylori which is one of the causes of ulcers garlic is good as an anti-parasitic it kills worms and parasites garlic is also powerful in that it can hit at the root of so many other problems simply by lowering insulin and improving insulin resistance which not just help your blood sugars but they help reduce things like a fatty liver which comes from excessive amounts of insulin if you’ve been watching my videos for any period of time you know of all the consequences of too much insulin there’s been quite a few studies including the one that i just did in europe on cancer to show garlic’s powerful anti-cancer effects garlic helps arthritis any type of itis because it has powerful anti-inflammatory effects so anything like bursitis tendinitis arthritis garlic can also increase endurance if you’re an athlete but today i’m going to kind of focus in on the heart primarily there’s over 43 clinical trials that show remarkable benefits of using garlic on the cardiovascular system in fact one which i’ll put down below showed decreased relative risk of heart attacks and stroke over 50 so why would anyone not be including garlic in their diet on a regular basis so check this out there’s a compound called thromboxane and i don’t want to get into the chemistry of it but this compound causes platelets to clump forming clots okay which then can get lodged in the heart vessels creating a heart attack or it can pass through the arteries up into the brain potentially causing a stroke this compound causes vasoconstriction okay and what we’re talking about is a spasm of your coronary artery okay and let me just cover that topic briefly just so you understand what i’m talking about there’s something called unstable angina the unstable angina is related to a coronary artery spasm vasospastic so the arteries actually go into this this constriction okay and in this type of angina you usually have unstable plaque that can break off and then get stuck in other parts of your vascular system causing a stroke or a heart attack so sometimes it can last for 10 minutes and it goes away and it comes back but this is the type of angina that can occur at rest in the middle of the night whereas the stable angina has a plaque that has a fibrous cap it’s more protected but can break off triggered by certain activity either some injury maybe exercise or something that can break off this plaque then causing the angina now there’s various risk factors for angina you have smoking of course in nicotine obesity then you have diabetes where you have an insulin problem and the arteries are very very stiff high blood pressure can be a risk factor stress can be a trigger insulin resistance which then will cause the inflammation inside the arteries then you have this cascade effect of your body trying to form a band-aid out of cholesterol calcium and protein alcohol is one cause marijuana can be a trigger cocaine can be a trigger and energy drinks some of these kids nowadays that drink a lot of energy drinks combine all this sugar with this caffeine and there’s been quite a few incidents of heart attacks in our youth from energy drinks all right let’s come back to this compound potent hypertension okay when this is too high you get high blood pressure and this chemical compound in your body occurs after injury and inflammation well it just so happens there are several things that can inhibit this compound okay one this is the major mechanism with blood thinner medication even aspirin works to inhibit this compound but guess what garlic has several compounds that act as a natural inhibitor to this compound and without the side effects okay olive oil also can inhibit this compound as well so when we’re talking about the effects of garlic on heart attack and stroke we’re talking about making sure that you don’t develop clots garlic has natural properties to lower blood pressure reduce artery stiffness probably because it lowers insulin and it can help lower your calcium score there’s a really good test that is probably one of the best predictors of heart attacks and it’s a coronary artery calcification test it should be zero if it’s greater than 400 or 500 or even over a thousand that actually can predict your chances of getting a heart attack so it’s a very very good test to get done but guess what garlic can help lower the calcium in the studies that they did for statins in relationship to trying to lower this calcium score they were not successful but guess what garlic can help lower this score garlic also can help balance out your lipids and cholesterol as well as help you produce more bile that then helps to regulate the cholesterol lipids because bile is necessary to get rid of excessive amount of cholesterol from the body so garlic increases bile now since garlic is very antimicrobial because it works on viruses funguses and bacteria it can greatly help another thing related to the heart called infective endocarditis there’s actually an infection with staph bacteria sometimes there’s a fungus biofilms that’s occurring right inside the arteries and guess what garlic can act as a natural antibiotic without the side effects so that’s just one more benefit garlic can do for your cardiovascular system so let’s summarize garlic can help thin the blood so you don’t develop a clot it’s antimicrobial if there’s an infection it helps to mobilize excess cholesterol and other lipids from your arteries because it can increase bile production it can help regulate the pressure encounter this vasoconstriction going on it can help soften the arteries and remove any excess calcium so i don’t know about you but i don’t know why anyone wouldn’t be taking garlic on a regular basis just for the cardiovascular benefit all right now let’s show you how to make this very very difficult and complex garlic water okay and i’m being sarcastic garlic water you crush one clove of garlic okay you put it in some water eight to twelve ounces of water you add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil you let this sit for about 15 minutes because we want all these phytonutrients to be released from the garlic after you crush it and also we’re putting the extra virgin olive oil in there not just to help you reduce that compound we just talked about but to also help the absorption of some of these phytonutrients since they’re fat soluble okay and then the last part just drink it drink it on a regular basis now you don’t have
