I got this from a friend and I must say, this thing will work. This is because you are eating fresh garlic and garlic, is well-known for its medicinal properties. Garlic is also called the cheaper version of Lingzhi, a well-known expensive Chinese herb for its healing properties.

Anyway, for those of you who can't read Chinese, I will translate this for you.

This is basically a garlic-based rice. Either you fried it or steam it.

In order for it to work, use as much finely chopped fresh garlic as possible. If you want to steam it, mix it together with your rice and put it in the rice cooker. If you want to fry it, use either extra light olive oil or extra virgin coconut oil. These are two best oils that you can use to combine it with Garlic.

For fried rice, do the following:

• Warm your wok, pour a small amount of oil and put in the chopped garlic. Fried until fragrance.
• Put in the rice with chopped garlic and fried it together. That's it. You have your garlic fried rice.

However, in order for this formula to work, you have to take note of the following:

• Use only either brown rice or whole grain rice.
• Use only fresh garlic.
  
• If you want to put salt, use only sea salt. However, this is not recommended.
  
• If you want to take this to reduce your blood pressure, steam version is the best.
  

Lastly, if you find this too much work, just take 2 garlic and licorice 3 times a day. Also, take it with Salmon Omega 3 fish oil. 1 or 2 capsules 3 times a day.

Remember, the reason why garlic rice work because garlic will thin your blood. So if you are on blood thinning medicine, you have to be careful. Check your blood pressure regularly.

Hope this help.

High Blood Pressure(Hypertension) and High Cholesterol

Before we proceed to discuss both HBP and HC, we need to know one thing. If you have high cholesterol, over a long period of time, you may experience high blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, most likely you have high cholesterol.

So why is this so? This is because high cholesterol is due to the accumulation of bad cholesterol in the body. When this bad cholesterol is used to repair the blood vessels, it will harden the wall and create inelastic blood vessels. The hardening of blood vessels will lead to high blood pressure. Not only that, your heart will be working extra hard and over a period of time, you may have an enlarge heart or, a over-worked heart. It will be just one fine day whereby, your heart will tell you, may I have a day rest. This is what you called Heart Attack.

Ultimately, both problem is a lifestyle challenge. A simple change in lifestyle such as diet, perspective of life, more exercise will eventually resolve the problem. Taking medicine does not resolve the root cause.

Lastly, we need to repair the body by achieving the following milestone:

1. Strengthen the heart
2. Strengthen the blood vessels
3. Increase the good cholesterol in the body. This is to improve the ratio between HDL:LDL
4. Relax the mind by having a good sleep and think positively

Here are some recommendations for taking supplement:

Calcium/Magnesium: 1/-/-/1
COQ10: 1/1/1/-
Salmon Omega: 2/1/-/-
Garlic: 1/1/1/-
Lecithin E: 4/4/4/4
Bio-C: 4/4/4/4
Multi-carotene: 3/3/3/3
Double X: 1/-/1/-
B-complex: 2/2/2/-
Fibre: -/2/2/-
Milk Thistle: -/-/-/4
BP Complex: 1/1/1/-

Lastly, please do the Homocysteine test to check your risk of having a heart attack. Your doctor may discourage you from doing it. The only reason why he does that because he is not well-informed about it.

Heart

Heart, is one of the most hard working organs in our body or perhaps, THE MOST HARDWORKING ONE. just imagine, if our heart stop pumping for one second? What will happen to us? Our heart will only get stronger, not weaker. And a lot of time, it is over work. So why is it over work? Well, the answer is pretty simple. Let's say, all the arteries in our body is like a road. Each road leads to other parts of the body, major organs and etc... And each of this destination requires regular food supply in order to function properly. Now here's the situation, let's say, when the road is clear without any blockage, a red blood cell takes 10 second to reach the Kidney from the Heart. How about along the way, the road has some debris or the road is uneven and this will affect the red blood cell traveling time from the Heart to Kidney. Instead of the usual 10 second, now it may takes 20 second. This is too long for the kidney and the Kidney will malfunction if such situation arises. So, in order to prevent such situation to happen, the heart will pump harder so that the red blood cell will still take the same amount of time to reach the Kidney from the Heart. After a prolonged period of time, the heart will over work and starts to weaken. Now, let's take a step back. Didn't I mention about the debris along the road? Yup... If we don't clear the debris on the road, then, there will be more and more and more. If the red blood cell take more than 10 second to reach the Kidney from the Heart, then, it is the same for the red blood cell to take a longer time to reach the Heart from other locations. If it is going to take a longer time, it will affect the heart significantly. Not only that, once the road is choked, blood supply to the heart will be reduced and that is when you get a heart attack. Understand now? Heart attack is due to clogged arteries and how does the arteries get clogged? Usually, it is due to Calcium buildup Bad Cholesterol Fats and others... How can we resolve it? Dietary changes Ensure your diet is rich in fiber. Especially soluble fiber because it can remove LDL from the body. Take whole grained food as much as possible. Cut down on rice and take brown rice or whole grain rice. Eats lots of fresh vegetables and fruits Eat deep sea fishes such as Salmon to get good fats. If not, you can get it from flax seed oil. Take lots of food rich in vitamin Bs. Vitamin Bs are required to reduce homocysteine. If your meal does not contain any of the above mentioned food, try not to eat them. Exercises Do light exercises regularly such as brisk walking or swimming. Do not do vertical exercises as it will strain the heart. Sleep early This is an important process for the body to rest and do repair. Supplements Taking supplements are essential because we can never get enough from food. Furthermore, when the body has gone through invasive operation, it needs lots of raw materials to repair and food is never enough. Thus, taking supplement is important. Whether you have by-pass or stents, points 1 to 4 are applicable. What supplements to take? Instructions to take Nutrilite: after breakfast/after lunch/after dinner/before sleep COQ10: 1/1/1/- This is to improve cell energy production Lecithin E: 4/4/4/4 Lecithin helps to remove bad fats from the body and vitamin E is a powerful anti-oxidant that will improve blood circulation and thin the blood. If you are taking blood thinning medicines, you may want to reduce the dosage. Daily Multi-vit: 1/1/-/- Contains all the essential minerals such as potassium that will help to maintain the heart rhythm. Protein Powder: 2/-/-/2 Important for repairs B-complex: 6/3/3/6 Reduces homocysteine levels Calcium/Magnesium: 2/-/-/2 Magnesium improves calcium absorption and this will prevent calcium builds up. Not only that, it helps to reduce blood pressure. Salmon Omega-3: 1/1/-/- Protects the heart muscle, improve HDL level in the body Garlic and Licorice: 1/1/1/- It thins the blood and improve blood circulation. If you are taking blood thinning medicines, you may want to reduce the dosage. Multi-carotene: 3/3/3/3 until palm turn orange stops. Once colour is faded, continue again. Prevent free radical damage on to the arteries. Bio-C: 4/4/4/4 Thins the blood, prevent free radical damage and blood clots. Combine it with lecithin E, multi-carotene and COQ10. Milk Thistle: -/-/-/2 If the body has a bad lipid profile, it maybe due to Liver problem. Milk Thistle helps to repair the Liver. Lastly, if you don't have any heart problem, I will encourage you to do a full blood test to check your C Reactive protein, Homocysteine and Cholesterol level. Just remember, cholesterol is not the key ingredients that leads to cardiovascular problem. by the way, have you read the disclaimer?
