Heart Healthy: Nitric Oxide: Garlic + Onions

Cardiovascular disease is the single largest cause of death in India 29% of all chronic diseases. Diabetese in urban India is second highest in the world. These are statistics provided by the Govt. of India in their website.

It seems Garlic is the answer to both these problems..

In 1998 Nobel prize for medicine was given to 3 doctors(Robert Furchgott, Louis Ignarro, Ferid Murad) for discovering Nitric Oxide as the signalling molecule in cardiovascular system. Here are some important observations.

- endothelial cells of arteries makes nitric oxide..
- when you exercise nitric oxide is produced by arteries in the endothelial cells (that is why exercise is good for the heart)
- Nitric Oxide is the best vassal dilator
   - widens the blood vessels ..increasing blood flow throughout the body
   - Soften the blood vessels ..reversing the hardening of arteries
   - Relax the blood vessels ..help to overcome high blood pressure
- Nitric Oxide also inhibits and melts away plaque formation ..prevent and reverse atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, impotence, peripheral artery disease..
- Diabetese problem also can be solved as L-arginine helps in production of insuline

If you do a lot of search on the net..this is the conclusion that I came up with..

1. To produce the Nitric Oxide the body needs L-arginine.
2. precursor to L-arginine is L-citrulline.
3. L-Citrulline is found in large quantities in Garlic, Onion and Watermelon (watermelon shell [which we generally throw]contains 60%)

Nitric Oxide is what Viagra supplies to targeted parts of our body using L-citrulline. There are a host of very special drugs developed to target Nitric oxide supplies (just like Viagra) to specific parts of the body (heart)

So here we have it .. the best natural medicine to have is raw garlic (with water) 3 times a day.
You can see some observations:
1. You will be more energetic.. (if you find yourself out of energy before garlic)
2. Your blood pressure will be down  (if you have high blood pressure before starting garlic)
3. You will also observe that your breathlessness while climbing stairs will reduce (Stress on heart when you exert additional pressure before starting garlic)
4. You will have the Viagra effect !! (If you do face any problems in bed .. before starting garlic)
5. You will be less susceptible to allergies and viruses (flue et cetera)
6. Loose fat and develop more muscles (you will have to do some excercise to build muscles but fat will be chewed by Garlic without any effort will take time though)

Take raw garlic ..4 pieces every time & chew it .. gulp it down with water 3 times a day and within 3 weeks you will see a different you. Tell me about it!! Raw unwashed Onion also helps .. but RAW Garlic is the best.

Please Note: This is my free advise.. I have old parents and I was looking for more info on heart and blood glucose problem and move them away from the medicine cycle.. As always please do your own deep dive.
