Garlic

An herb and popular spice with healing properties for cardiovascular problems is garlic. For instance, garlic is praised for its anti-hyperlipidemic qualities, or, more specifically, for its shown capacity to lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels.

In a research with 40 people who had metabolic syndrome, raw, crushed garlic taken twice daily for four weeks dramatically decreased triglycerides at a rate of 45 mg per pound (100 mg per kg) of body weight. In a another trial, consuming 2 grams of garlic powder daily for 40 days had a substantial impact on lowering triglyceride levels and other metabolic indicators.
