Garlic
Although garlic is best known for being a vampire-repellent, it actually has more qualities that help your heart. Aside from making our dishes a lot more savory, garlic also helps reduce the blood pressure. It can also reduce the plaque level of the arteries. Not only that! Garlic can also reduce blood vessel constriction by decreasing the level of the enzymes causing it to vasoconstrict. Studies show that it can reduce the amount of plaque in the blood vessels up to 50% when taken in the pill form.

Red Wine
Red wine is more commonly known for its ability to make us feel relaxed after a long day. Or it can easily complement our favorite dishes. But did you know that a small amount of this delicious liquid can go a long way? That’s right! Even experts say that when you drink a moderate amount of red wine, your HDL levels will go up, which in turn prevents cholesterol from building up in your blood vessels. Red wine also has antioxidants which helps your body reduce the formation or blot clots by helping the blood vessels maintain their flexibility. All these things can ultimately help you prevent coronary heart disease. Hmm… We can’t go against experts’ advice can we?
