Heart Healthy Foods - Garlic and Onions
Garlic and Onions contain a compound that acts as an effective blood thinner. Ideally a daily dose of two pods of garlic and one onion in your diet can help the heart work better. For people already suffering from heart disease or plaque formation, onions and garlic can prove to be very beneficial.
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a particularly rich source of organosulfur compounds, which are currently under investigation.
Crushing or chopping garlic releases an enzyme called alliinase that catalyzes the formation of allicin.
Since cooking can inactivate alliinase, some scientists recommend letting garlic stand for 10 minutes after chopping or crushing before cooking it.
