How to eat garlic to lower blood pressure? Allicin has many benefits. See the doctor explain garlic!

I really admire these rumor mongers! They are unyielding! They are uncompromising! They are persistent!

After celery, onion, fungus and other foods can lower blood pressure, rumors are spreading that garlic can also lower blood pressure!

What's wrong with your brains? As long as it's not a blood pressure lowering drug, you will make up an antihypertensive effect.

There is no food that can directly lower blood pressure, whether it is garlic, onion, fungus or celery, none of them can directly lower blood pressure.

The simplest truth is, if these vegetables can lower blood pressure, then everyone can just eat them every day. Why do hundreds of millions of people with high blood pressure still have to take antihypertensive drugs every day?

Rumormongers, can you please use your brains? People who read rumors, can you please also use your brains?

Garlic has certain benefits, but first of all it is a vegetable, and it is not a main dish. It cannot be used as a dish, but just a seasoning. Some people say that allicin is not a medicine?

That’s right, but although allicin is a garlic extract, it does not mean that eating garlic is equivalent to eating allicin, and allicin cannot directly lower blood pressure.

Garlic is deified because of allicin, which quickly loses its effect when exposed to heat, so garlic is best eaten raw. It is best to mash garlic into a paste rather than chop it into minced garlic with a knife, and leave it for 10-15 minutes to allow alliin and allinase to combine in the air to produce allicin before eating.

Modern medical research has proven that allicin can block the synthesis of nitrosamine carcinogens in the body. So far, its anti-cancer effect ranks among more than 40 kinds of vegetables and fruits, and garlic is at the top of the pyramid. Garlic is also rich in selenium, which also has a strong anti-cancer effect. The mineral content of garlic is highest in phosphorus, followed by magnesium, calcium, iron, silicon, aluminum and zinc. The sulfur compounds in garlic have strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and have inhibitory and killing effects on a variety of cocci, bacilli, fungi and viruses.

Garlic definitely has benefits, but don't make it a myth, and garlic is not allicin. If you can enjoy the spicy taste, you can eat a clove with noodles, add a head to the barbecue, or add a little when stir-frying or mixing vegetables. However, we purely regard garlic as a food that stimulates the taste buds rather than a direct health-preserving or therapeutic product. No one has done any research or practice to prove that garlic can lower blood pressure.

Some people say that some extracts of garlic can lower blood pressure. First of all, this statement needs to be confirmed. In fact, even if some trace amount of garlic extract can lower blood pressure, why don't pharmaceutical companies use garlic extract to make antihypertensive drugs? Because it is not cost-effective. The extract is very small. Since the extract is very small, how can garlic directly lower blood pressure?

Fairy tales are beautiful, but such rumors are abominable!

Let me reiterate, there is no food that can directly lower blood pressure. The reason is simple. If there was, wouldn’t people with high blood pressure just eat this food?

Blood pressure can only be lowered by a healthy lifestyle + regular antihypertensive drugs.

Healthy eating is only a part of healthy living. In addition to healthy eating, it also includes: regular exercise, quitting smoking and drinking, controlling weight, staying up late less, and reducing stress.

A healthy diet does not just mean eating garlic, celery, onion and fungus, but is based on low salt, low oil and low sugar. At the same time, it increases the proportion of vegetables and fruits, increases the proportion of whole grains, adds more fish, less fat and red meat, and less fried food. This kind of diet is conducive to controlling blood pressure, and eating garlic does not necessarily lower blood pressure!

It’s especially disgusting that some doctors also said this!
