Garlic
Rich in antibacterial, antioxidant and protective properties of cardiovascular diseases, garlic is one of the most effective natural ingredients in the fight against health disorders. According to an article published by Avicenna Journal of Phytomedecine, extensive studies have looked into its benefits, observing a remarkable action on the reduction of blood pressure and cholesterol.

A study of 88 patients for 12 weeks would have concluded that garlic would be an interesting treatment for people whose blood pressure is difficult to control. Following the results obtained, the scientists have observed a clear decrease of the latter in their subjects, combined with a consequent improvement in inflammations and biological markers of cardiovascular risk.
Ginger
Rich in oleoresin with bioactive components such as gingerol and known for their pharmacological and physiological action, ginger has been used for decades to treat colds, high blood pressure, nausea and migraine. Very interesting food because of its virtues, it would have been the subject of an experiment on 80 subjects to determine its action on the rate of lipids in the blood. After 45 days, scientists would have observed a significant decrease in cholesterol in patients who had used it in treatment.
Lemon
In Turkey, lemon, and its juice in particular, would be one of the most popular alternative treatments for treating hypertension. Combined with the precious virtues of garlic, it would have allowed in an experiment conducted on patients suffering from hyperlipidemia (high blood fat levels) to reduce not only the level of lipids present in the body but also the arterial pressure. Moreover, the use of these two ingredients would be a popular method to reduce inflammation and improve cardiovascular parameters.
