Forget vampires, garlic can be used to balance your blood pressure too.

Did you know that over 5 million Canadians are living with high blood pressure but an estimated 40% of them are not even aware of their condition?

High blood pressure, also referred to as ‘hypertension’, occurs when the force of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels is too high. High blood pressure occurs when the blood is pumped with great difficulty against the arteries by a person’s heart which over time begins to damage the lining of the blood vessels.  Chronic high blood pressure can cause damage to vital organs like the heart, brain and kidneys when the condition is not managed.
