Lemon and Garlic Combination: A Powerful Remedy Against Cholesterol

image

Enough cannot be said about the healing properties of two of nature’s most powerful remedies: garlic and lemons. Both of them are powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories which can help improve not only heart health but the health of the entire body. And both are also great at lowering cholesterol levels (and blood pressure too!) by scrubbing out and cleansing the blood vessels, thus reducing the chances of the kind of plaque build-up than can lead to a heart attack of stroke.

Below is a great recipe for a tonic that can be taken once a year for a period of 40 days and that will effectively cleanse the blood vessels and improve cardiac health.

The Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 bulbs of garlic
  • 4 medium-sized lemon rinds
  • 3 liters of boiling water

Directions

Dice the garlic cloves finely after peeling them carefully, set aside. Then cut the lemons into pieces. Throw both into the boiling water. Grind this mixture into a fine paste using an old-fashioned meat grinder, then put the paste into a glass jar and pour the water into it until it reached the top. Cover and refrigerate for three days, then strain it and keep the liquid refrigerated.

How to Use

Begin with a small dose (1-2 tablespoons) three times a day before meals, but work your way up gradually to the maximum dose of 50ml if there is not discomfort. You should do this for 40 days, once a year.

Why this Treatment Works

This treatment is effective as a cardiotonic because it harnesses the power of both the garlic and the lemons to deliver up a powerful treatment for heart health. Garlic has long been valued for its ability to improve the condition of the heart, both by lowering bad LDL cholesterol levels and raising the good HDL levels. This effectively scrubs out the veins and prevents the build-up of plaque that can lead to heart attacks or strokes.

Meanwhile, the lemon, though acidic, actually has an alkalizing effect upon the body and this can help the heart, too. Alkalinity has been linked to reduce levels of cardiac inflammation, which is a risk factors for heart disease, and lemon’s natural antioxidants protect the heart against oxidative stress.

In conclusion, heart disease is a serious condition and remains the number one killer in the United States. The good news is, though, that a healthy lifestyle,including eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and controlling stress combined with taking a tonic like this can great reduce your chances of developing this serious condition. And reducing risk factors like high cholesterol and high blood pressure can go a long way to achieving this goal.
