Unexpected benefits of garlic for cardiovascular health

Báo Thanh niênBáo Thanh niên20/11/2024

According to the health website Eating Well, garlic is considered the number 1 spice for those who want to protect their heart health.


The heart plays an important role in the body. It works tirelessly to pump blood and provide oxygen and nutrients to ensure life. Therefore, we need to have a reasonable diet and exercise to protect heart health.

Garlic has huge benefits for heart health, says Veronica Rouse, nutritionist and founder of The Heart Dietitian. (Canada), explains: "Garlic is rich in antioxidants, especially allicin - a compound known to help lower cholesterol and blood pressure." However, allicin only appears when garlic is chopped or crushed. So when you prepare garlic for dishes, you are increasing the amount of health-promoting allicin.

Garlic is considered the number 1 spice for those who want to protect their heart health.

In addition to its role as an antioxidant, garlic also has anti-inflammatory effects. Inflammation is a factor that can increase the risk of heart disease, so garlic's anti-inflammatory properties may provide significant benefits.

A review of clinical trials has shown that taking garlic supplements can actually reduce markers of inflammation in the body.

Heart disease affects not only the heart but also the entire cardiovascular system, including the network of blood vessels in the body. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of garlic help protect the function of blood vessels effectively.

According to nutritionist Laura M. Ali, there is some evidence that garlic consumption can improve the flexibility of arteries, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure. Additionally, garlic may help limit oxidative damage to the lining of blood vessels and reduce plaque buildup, two factors that can contribute to stroke.

Additionally, garlic is a rich source of antioxidants, including selenium, vitamin C, and quercetin (a plant compound with anti-inflammatory effects). Garlic also contains small amounts of manganese, a mineral that is essential for several antioxidant enzymes in the body.

Add garlic to your daily diet

People can use garlic to enhance the flavor of sauces and dips. Vegetables can also be combined with garlic. Additionally, garlic can be used to enhance the flavor of lean proteins. These proteins are lower in fat, so they often taste better when combined with additional spices.

You can try herb-roasted turkey breast with garlic or delicious pan-seared lemon-garlic salmon.
