Garlic
We are sure you have heard that garlic can be used to repel vampires. However, are you aware that it also comes with several heart-boosting qualities? Aside from adding flavor to your food, garlic also reduces enzymes that can potentially constrict blood vessels, lowers artery plaque levels, and decreases blood pressure. If you’re not a fan of the taste, you can also take it as a pill. In fact, doing so has reduced plaque in the arteries up to 50%!

Moreover, it offers many anti-oxidants, prevents coronary heart disease, and reduces blood clots. Of course, just remember to consume it in moderation! It’s not as if we needed any more encouragement in the first place…
