    Eat more garlic. It is another legendary folk remedy for high blood pressure, and it is effective, according to recent studies. Long used in China and widely used today in Germany as a blood pressure medication, garlic can have a striking impact. In a recent double blind German test of Kwai, an over-the-counter garlic preparation, doses comparable to a couple of daily garlic cloves pushed diastolic blood pressure down in patients with mild high blood pressure.

    Although further studies still need to be done to determine the exact relationship between garlic and blood pressure, the University of Maryland Medical Center acknowledges that garlic consumption can lower blood pressure and prevent the occurrence of heart disease. Garlic helps decrease dangerous LDL cholesterol levels, increase healthy HDL cholesterol levels and decrease blood clotting. Since cholesterol levels and blood viscosity influence blood pressure, garlic's effects on these factors ultimately result in lower blood pressure levels. So, eating too much garlic typically would not cause your blood pressure to go up. In fact, the University of Maryland Medical Center recommends that adults consume 2 g to 4 g of fresh, minced garlic every day.
