How to activate the Metabolic Master Switch in your cells for more balanced blood sugar
There’s a natural compound found in a number of plants that’s been used for centuries in Chinese Medicine to help treat a variety of ailments.
It has the ability to help activate an enzyme in cells called the Metabolic Master Switch. When this happens, your body can switch specific genes on and off to regulate your metabolism – at cellular level!
The results: Lower blood sugar levels, improved insulin sensitivity in cells, muscles use more glucose for energy, reduced sugar production in the liver and a delayed breakdown of carbohydrates in the digestive tract.
Raw garlic was shown in 19 studies to help prevent heart disease…
The research found that people who consume raw garlic saw improvements in cardiometabolic biomarkers, including:
* Lower total cholesterol
* Reduced triglyceride levels
* Improved high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the good kind)
* Lower blood pressure
This humble vegetable was also found to:
* Improve body mass index (BMI),
* Reduce waist-hip ratio,
* Enhance fibrinolytic activity (which dissolves blood clots)
* Increase antioxidant levels in the body which fight free radicals that cause cellular damage,
* Helps the body metabolise glucose more efficiently
* And also helps the liver cope better
That´s a lot of potential help for your heart from this little vegetable!
The authors of the review caution that the studies they looked at were all done on Asian people, which may not be representative of the world´s population, but even so, garlic seems to be a low risk way to help protect your heart…
Another point they highlighted was that the results of these studies were based on the consumption of raw garlic – so as yummy as cooked garlic is in food, the benefits come from the more pungent state of this vegetable.
But if you find raw garlic “hard to swallow”, you´ll be pleased to know that you can buy garlic supplements, and there´s even odourless supplements, which will ensure you don´t clear the room when you open your mouth to speak…
