Garlic lowering cholesterol

Garlic is said to help with high cholesterol by lowering the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the ‘bad cholesterol) as well as increasing the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the ‘good’ cholesterol). It also reduces triglyceride levels.
These effects are said to be created by phytochemicals present in garlic, which seem to have the same effect as statin drugs; statins are cholesterol lowering drugs and garlic is said to be a natural form of statin. Garlic does not have any significant side effects and using garlic for lowering cholesterol in the body is probably a safer method.

Because it thins the blood, garlic also helps to lower the risk of getting heart attacks. 2-3 garlic cloves daily is recommended for health benefits.
