  • Healthy dietCut down on the amount of salt in your food and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. The sodium in salt raises your blood pressure, so the more salt you consume, the higher your blood pressure. Aim to eat less than 6 grams of salt daily, which is about one teaspoonful. Eating a low-fat diet that includes lots of fiber, such as wholegrain rice, bread, and pasta, and plenty of fruit and vegetables also helps lower blood pressure.

Feeling down or depressed from time to time is normal, but if these feelings last beyond two weeks or start to affect everyday life, this can be a sign of depression. Depression can develop slowly. Someone who is depressed does not always realize or acknowledge that they’re not feeling or behaving as they usually do.

Sometimes a partner, family member, or carer is first to realize that help is needed. They may encourage their friend or relative to see a Doctor or find some other source of support.

Yes, it is safe to eat a clove of garlic as long as you are not allergic to it.

However, you must be aware that it has a strong pungent smell that may give you garlicky breath. Also, having a large amount of garlic at once may give you a burning sensation inside the mouth, heartburn, gases, and loose bowel movements.

 

How much is a clove of garlic?

Garlic is an herb that is grown around the world. Garlic is found as a white bulb (the shape is similar to an onion). The entire garlic is called a ‘head’ or ‘knob.’ Each small, individual segment of a garlic head is the garlic clove, which is also white. A single clove of garlic is equal to one teaspoon of chopped garlic or half a teaspoon of minced garlic. Garlic is a popular ingredient used in several dishes and beverages to add flavor.
