Can taking a daily clove of garlic lower blood pressure? Here are some facts on how it works.

The alliin compound becomes allincin (one of about a 100 sulphur compounds). The chemicals contained in garlic are stable as long as the cloves in the bulb aren’t damaged, but when we take our daily clove of garlic or two and crush, bruise or chop them, an enzyme called alliinase reacts with another compound called alliin, instantly producing the sulfur compound allicin which is the cause of the herbs` smell, taste and therapeutic properties.

There are protective health benefits from taking a daily clove of garlic. You can combat the onset of heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases with the powerful compound allicin in garlic.

I have 4 more vegetables for you as potassium food sources. They are –

  • Lettuce
  • Endives
  • Lambs quarters
  • Radishes

9. Lettuce comes in various types, and you will find that some supermarkets and markets are now catering for the different palates.

If you have high blood pressure and want to regulate your potassium levels with high potassium foods, then go for the dark leafy green types. If it helps, the RDA for potassium is 3.5 grams a day.

If you’ve searched through numerous lists on foods containing potassium, you will probably have noticed that lettuce normally ranks in the moderate to low potassium food sources, but rarely if ever in the high potassium foods. Very misleading!

High blood pressure sufferers on potassium wasting diuretics must find the majority of lists, vague sources of information, and useless if they are trying to boost their potassium levels.

In fact, did you know it is now recognized as an effective treatment for asthma and has been included in the British Guidelines on the Management of Asthma?

Training of the technique was being offered at Coventry University in England with the help of the Buteyko Breathing Association in April 2009 to help treat people with asthma, so reported The Nursing Times.
