TIP:

Use garlic to protect your blood. Not only does folklore assure us that garlic

can repel vampires, scientists now say that garlic can protect our blood from

other evils as well. For example, garlic seems to prevent excess blood clotting.

It also seems effective in lowering blood levels of cholesterol and

triglycerides, reducing the risk of heart disease.
