Herbal Hero CRUSHES Bad Cholesterol and Blood Sugar

By Dr. Scott Olson, ND Posted September 1, 2024

We all know garlic is supposed to keep vampires at bay.

But what if I told you this 5,000-year-old pungent bulb could also ward off some real-life health villains?

A groundbreaking new study suggests that garlic can be a secret weapon in the fight against high blood sugar and cholesterol.

How does this humble herb manage it?

Well, let’s sink our teeth into the aromatic details…

A massive meta-analysis published in the journal Nutrients has uncovered some exciting news for garlic lovers.

This major review looked at 22 previous studies, with many randomized, controlled trials… the gold standard in scientific research.

They found that the unassuming garlic clove is linked to a bunch of benefits:

• Lowers blood sugar levels
• Provides better long-term glucose control
• Supports “good” cholesterol (HDL)
• Lowers “bad” cholesterol (LDL)
• Improves overall cholesterol levels

This is critical because poor blood sugar and cholesterol control can lead to a host of chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, and fatty liver. In other words, keeping these levels in check is crucial for long-term health.

But how exactly does garlic work its magic?

Other research reveals garlic reduces oxidative stress. And the antioxidant compound alliin, found in garlic, is linked to better blood sugar and cholesterol levels and improvements in the gut microbiome.

Researchers believe it’s likely a combination of these effects that are responsible for garlic’s impressive benefits.

To harness the power of garlic for yourself…

• add fresh garlic to your cooking whenever possible, and
• consider taking a high-quality garlic supplement.

But don’t rely on garlic alone, of course. Instead, pair it with a balanced diet and regular exercise for best results

This study is a powerful reminder that sometimes the most effective health solutions are hiding right in your own kitchen.

So, don’t be shy with the garlic the next time you’re cooking up a storm.
