  7. How Does Garlic Benefit You? “It was found that garlic boiled for 20 min has the same bioactivity as raw garlic in its antioxidant and protein spectra. Therefore it should be added at this time to foods.” (Gorinstein) “A clove of garlic is enough each day. You can crush it in warm milk or just take one clove alone.”(Larry Oz)

  8. What causes hypertension? • Aging • Drinking more than 2 alcohol drinks a day for men or more than 1 alcohol drink a day for women • Eating a lot of sodium • Being overweight or obese • Having high cholesterol • Not exercising • Being under a lot of stress • Eating a diet low in potassium, magnesium, and calcium • Being insulin-resistant

  10. Healthy Middle Eastern food • Whole food, no supplyment. • Many recipes use only olive oil, and in very small quantities. • Very few dishes are fried, also. Many foods are grilled and baked.

  11. Conclusion… • The main point is how we deal with garlic in cuisines rather than how much we consume. • And most important of all, garlic consumption is not the core issue in Chinese hypertension. • I suggest that the most effective way to solve this problem is to change Chinese eating habit.
