Over time, fat deposits accumulate in your blood vessels, making you more prone to heart disease and stroke (1). While many Americans rely on cholesterol-lowering medication, these drugs have recently come under fire for their many side-effects and health risks.

Ginger improves cardiovacular health by preventing atherosclerosis, lowering cholesterol levels, and preventing the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL). In fact, the root reduces cholesterol-related blood vessel damage by 44% and LDL levels by 33% (2).

Ginger also helps regulate clot clotting to prevent heart attack or stroke as well as lower blood sugar level to help manage type 2 diabetes (3). It can even boost your immune system and fight off infection.

Lemon contains vitamin C, which lipids and cholesterol in the blood with just 30 days of daily ingestion.  Combine with vitamin E, vitamin C can reduce LDL levels by 20-30%. Pectin in the pulp also helps to reduce cholesterol levels by up to 11% (4).

Garlic lowers total cholesterol and prevents arterial plaque build-up by preventing platelets form sticking together and restricting blood flow (5). Garlic is also a potent antibiotic.

Concentrate on each finger for 1-2 minutes.

1. Open your hand with fingers spread but relaxed. Beginning with your thumb, grasp the sides of the tip on either side of the nail and pinch with slight pressure. Move slowly down the thumb toward the palm, gently squeezing the sides until you feel the pulse. Pause in each position, allowing your mind to focus only on release before moving to the index finger and so on. End the massage with slight pressure applied to the center of the palm with the opposite thumb. Hold for 1 minute or more.
2. There is a pressure point between the thumb and index finger, located in the muscle just above the base of the thumb where the bones from the thumb and those of the index finger meet. Many nerves run through this muscle, joining the hand to the rest of the body. Relieving tension there is felt throughout the body, including the head, neck, and back, promoting a general feeling of well-being. Squeeze the muscle with the thumb and forefinger of the opposite hand and massage for as long as you like.
3. The inner wrist holds a pressure point as well, where the bones of the hand and arm meet. Applying gentle pressure there is said to help release negative thoughts and emotions. You may feel a tingling or slight numbness with the pressure.
4. On the opposite side of the hand at the outer wrist, where the bone of the arm meets the bones of the hand, is a little indentation. Apply pressure to this point to foster relaxation and mental clarity.
