Garlic For Cancer Prevention.
Garlic reduces the risk of several cancers. In the long-term lowa Women's Health Study, researchers followed 41,837 middle-aged women. Subjects who are the most garlic had the lowest risk of colon cancer. A few cloves a week cut risk by 32 percent, and greater intake decreased risk even more. While fruit and vegetable consumption in general helps prevents cancer, in this study, garlic yielded the greater preventive benefit of all the plant foods analyzed. Other studies have shown that garlic helps lower risk for prostate and bladder cancers.

Ginseng For Diabetes.
Ginseng also reduces blood sugar levels. In a study published in Diabetes Care, 36 subjects newly diagnosed with diabetes were given ginseng extract (100 or 200 mg a day) or a placebo, with the ginseng groups showing lower blood-sugar levels. Other studies concur. Diabetes requires professional treatment, consult your physician about ginseng.

Hibiscus For Hypertension.
Hibiscus is the trumpet-shaped, tropical flower that puts the colour in Red Zinger tea. A report in the Journal of Ethnopharmacoloy found that 12 days of drinking hibiscus tea (2 teaspoons per cup of boiling water several times a day) lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 11 percent. High blood pressure requires professional care, ask your doctor about adding hibiscus to your treatment plan.
