1 avocado
a. Prevent heart disease
Avocados are no longer a rare fruit and are sold in most supermarkets. They are rich in vitamins A, E, C, selenium and other antioxidants. They are also rich in animal and vegetable oils, cellulose and folic acid, which help lower cholesterol and reduce the likelihood of heart disease.
b. Improve blood lipids
A study by Pennsylvania State University in the United States showed that eating avocados, like olive oil and almonds, can remove bad cholesterol from the blood, and can reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in the body by about 12% after three months. At the same time, it can also increase the content of good cholesterol and help improve blood lipid health.
2 garlic
a. Anti-inflammatory
Garlic is a powerful weapon against disease. It can greatly inhibit the growth of bacteria such as E. coli and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
b. Lower cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar
Garlic contains alliin and allinase, which will come into contact with each other after being crushed, thus forming allicin, which has health-promoting effects. Therefore, it is best to mash garlic into a paste and wait for 10 to 15 minutes before eating, which is conducive to the formation of allicin. The content of organic sulfide, which has an antibacterial effect, will gradually decrease during heating, so eating raw garlic has a good sterilization effect.
c. Treat arthritis
Garlic can also treat arthritis caused by wind, cold and dampness. First, find a piece of clean cotton cloth, wrap it around your knees twice, then take 3 to 4 garlic cloves, mash them into a paste and apply it on the cloth, then wrap it with plastic film and apply it for two hours. After removing the medicine, wrap your knees with clean cotton cloth to eliminate rheumatism and break the cold.
