Aged garlic banishes arterial plague and stops heart disease, study claims

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. CAD is the constriction and hardening of arteries leading to the heart. CAD can lead to the formation of blood clots which can in turn cause strokes and heart attacks. Garlic may help prevent or reverse the effects of CAD. Garlic can not only treat contributing factors to CAD, but may be able to dissolve soft plaque associated with CAD. Garlic can be used alone to treat CAD or in conjunction with other treatments.

Key Takeaways:

• Garlic, botanically known as Allium sativum, gets its therapeutic powers from its supply of allicin – an enzyme formed when garlic is chopped, crushed, or chewed.
• The remarkable results showed that garlic not only reduced cholesterol and lowered blood pressure but reduced plaque in coronary arteries.
• In one study, researchers noted that garlic supplementation even outperformed atenolol, a popular pharmaceutical blood pressure medication.
