Garlic Capsules

For health, fitness, wellness, and athletic performance, provided one follows a relatively healthy lifestyle, carefully chosen supplements can be highly beneficial. When we think of supplements, most of us tend to picture vitamins, minerals and protein supplements used by athletes all over the world. In terms of health and well-being, one ingredient, in particular, is vastly underrated and underappreciated, and that ingredient is garlic.

Whilst garlic is a delicious culinary ingredient, it also happens to be very healthy, which is why odourless garlic capsules are finally gaining the recognition they deserve, in terms of health benefits. Garlic capsules are an alternative option, especially if one doesn't like the taste or odor of fresh garlic. It is high in a sulfur compound called Allicin, which is believed to bring most of the health benefits. Garlic is highly nutritious, but has very few calories

One great health benefit associated with odourless garlic supplements is the fact that they have been proven to provide benefits for the heart. It reduces blood pressure, helps to reduce harmful LDL cholesterol, prevents hardening of the arteries, plus it boosts circulation. What's more, it even helps to reduce platelet stickiness within the blood, meaning that sticky platelets will be unable to clog the arteries.

Garlic is also excellent in the handling of body fat and, is acknowledged as one of the most effective means of reducing fat in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program. It works by slowing or stopping our body's production of fat by breaking down the lipids and enhancing the elimination of various by-products.

Boosts the Immune System

Odourless garlic supplements are crammed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, all of which have been proven to help strengthen and boost the immune system. The stronger a person's immune system, the healthier they become as they will be far less likely to suffer from illness and disease.

Garlic possesses antibiotic properties which help the supplement to destroy all kinds of dangerous microbes and microorganisms within the body, resulting in a healthy, strong, and fully functioning immune system. In particular,  garlic is rich in vitamin C, manganese and vitamin B6, which not only boost the immune system, but they also assist with the absorption of nutrients from other foods and supplements.

Great for Hyperthyroid Conditions

Another key benefit associated with garlic supplements is the fact that they are great for treating hyperthyroid conditions. This is primarily down to the fact that  garlic is packed full of iodine.

As  garlic acts as a vasodilator, however, and dilates the blood vessels, this allows them to widen and transport more oxygen and nutrient enriched blood around the body. This means that  cells get more energy and nutrients.

Garlic assists Digestive Health

Finally, the last reason why garlic should be a part of one's everyday health regime is the fact that it assists with digestive health. Garlic possesses properties which can help to stimulate mucous membranes within the stomach, which in turn results in more gastric juices being produced, which are essential for healthy digestion. What's more, odourless garlic also helps the liver to flush more toxins from the body.

Garlic can cause certain side effects, such as stomachaches and headaches and can interact with some medications, including birth control pills. One must inform doctor if one plans to use a garlic supplement.

Heart is the organ for pumping blood throughout the body. Heart and brain are the only organs that must not stop working for a minute. The pressure of the blood in the body depends upon the force of the heartbeat and upon the tension in the thirty thousand miles of arteries spread throughout the body.

For measuring blood pressure two readings are taken: one for the blood pressure at its highest when the heart is actually contracting and one at its lowest when the heart is resting between two contractions. The highest blood pressure recorded is referred to as the Systolic pressure and the lowest recorded is referred to as the Diastolic pressure.

This explains the two figures when a doctor refers to blood pressure as being '120 over 80' (these numbers being the pressure expressed in millimetres of mercury). Both the readings are important, but the lower diastolic reading carries a greater significance.

The condition of high or raised blood pressure is called Hypertension. W. H. O. has defined Hypertension as a state in which the Systolic blood pressure is 140 mm Hg or more and Diastolic blood pressure is 90 mm Hg or more. Hypertension may be primary in which the cause for rise in blood pressure is not known or secondary in which the rise in blood pressure is due to weight gain or endocrinal or renal disturbances.

Hypertension, if left untreated may result in serious consequences like:

Cardiac effects: Increased cardiac work load, angina, myocardial infarction and sudden death.

Renal effects: Nephrosclerosis, which may lead to renal failure.

Cerebral effects: Decreased blood flow, decreased oxygen supply which may cause cerebral thrombosis & haemorrhage leading to paralysis.

Many people with hypertension have no symptoms but are being treated to prevent possible future complications.

Lowered blood pressure or Hypotension may occur after a heart attack or when there has been a sudden loss of blood, for example after a haemorrhage. To compensate for the low blood pressure, the blood vessels of the skin and muscles constrict to divert blood to more essential internal organs. When the condition is extreme, it is called Shock.

How to lose weight?

• Don't skip breakfast: Skipping breakfast won't help lose weight. One could miss out on essential nutrients and may end up snacking more throughout the day because you would feel hungry.
• Eat regular meals: Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar.
• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and fat and high in fibre – three essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals.
• Get more active: Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing numerous health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories one can't cut through diet alone.
• Drink plenty of water: People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. One can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what one needs.
• Eat high-fibre foods: Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep one feel full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruits and vegetables, oats, whole grain bread, brown rice and pasta, beans, peas
• Read food labels: Use the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily calorie allowance on the weight loss plan.
• Use a smaller plate: Using smaller plates can help one eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
• Don't ban foods: Don't ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more. There's no reason one can't enjoy the occasional treat as long as one stays within daily calorie allowance.
• Don't stock junk food: To avoid temptation, try to not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn and fruit juice.
• Cut down on alcohol: A standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a piece of chocolate. Over time, drinking too much can easily contribute to weight gain.

Action of individual remedies

Garcinia cambogia: The active ingredient in the fruit's rind, hydroxycitric acid, or HCA, has boosted fat-burning and cut back appetite in studies. It appears to block an enzyme called citrate lyase, which body uses to make fat. It also raises levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which may make one feel less hungry.

Caralluma fimbriata: Caralluma is a widely growing plant in India and is associated with appetite suppression. Because of its well-known appetite curbing properties, scientists have made extracts of the plant to study and develop as a potential weight loss supplement.

Green tea extract: Green tea supports weight loss in two ways:

1. The caffeine, though limited, is said to help burn fat and improve exercise performance, which could lead to added calorie burn.
2. The antioxidant EGCG found in green tea is known for its metabolism-boosting ability.
