“Meet LDL and HDL cholesterol: LDL, the ‘bad’ one, sticks to blood vessel walls, making them narrow. HDL, the ‘good’ one, clears LDL from the bloodstream. ❤️
🍯 Garlic, Honey, Fish combo
Garlic: Nature’s Medicine. Crush it for allicin, a natural antibiotic.
Honey is a DIY facial hero with antibacterial magic 🍯 Think: acne-fighting.
But that’s not all these two do – they also help us absorb iron and are helpful for our heart health by reducing LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and triglyceride levels.
Garlic and Fish. This combination helps to improve cardiovascular health in part by reducing triglycerides. Together they help to boost immunity, too.
Think: homemade marinades, salad dressings, stir-fry sauces
GARLIC HONEY FISH
A significant contribution for the antibacterial activity is proved in garlic and honey with phenols and fatty acids which act synergistically in higher growth reduction of bacteria, enhancing the killing activity. This also helps to improve the shelf life of each other [15]. Both are powerful antibiotics that preserve our immune system.
Garlic and honey have a good synergistic effect; when garlic reaches the stomach, it promotes the production of gastric juices which are essential for absorption of iron and enrich the bloodstream [14].
Cardiovascular diseases
Combination of honey and garlic potentially reduces the blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels and helps in improving cardiovascular problems [15]. Studies prove the good synergistic roles of honey with garlic to regulate LDL levels [16].
Garlic and fish synergistically boost immunity and improve cardiovascular health. Effects of fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids are modulated by the inhibition of hepatic very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglyceride synthesis and an increase in the fractional catabolic rate of VLDL. Various co-factors like selenium, copper, zinc, iron, and iodine works better with EPA and DHA for their anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-reducing properties [20].
