Homemade syrup for reducing cholesterol and joint inflammation

The natural syrup that we’ll make below consists of the following healthy ingredients:

• Garlic
• Lemon
• Honey

These three ingredients give you the energy and antioxidants that are excellent for your body.

The sulfur compounds in garlic have a vaso-dilation and detoxifying effect that help clean your arteries. This is important for controlling problems like hypertension and the buildup of bad cholesterol (LDL).

It also has vitamins and minerals that encourage blood circulation. Thus, it optimizes cellular oxygenation and reduces the negative effects of free radicals.

It also has a strong anti-inflammatory effect that is very beneficial for people with joint pain.

When you incorporate garlic into your diet along with these other ingredients, you’re strengthening your cartilage and ligaments, lowering the risk of premature breakdown or injuries.

In fact, due to its antibiotic and anti-fungal compounds, garlic is a great help in strengthening your immune system and increasing your immune response against infectious agents.

Actually honey, lemon, and garlic all have a remarkable alkalinizing effect that helps regulate blood pH which is important for preventing chronic illnesses.

And although it isn’t a miracle cure for high cholesterol or joint pain, consuming this syrup daily does indeed support the processes that your body uses to keep them under control.
