Quick notes
This is a very healthful dressing with wonderfully tasty and nutritious ingredients. In particular:
• Garlic salt – Garlic is a great weapon against cholesterol and dissolves it in the bloodstream. It also lowers blood pressure and reduces heart palpitations by opening up the blood vessels.
• Oregano – Oregano, in addition to being useful in the relief of rheumatoid arthritis, menstrual cramps and headaches, is also beneficial to individuals with heart conditions.
• Parsley – Parsley is loaded with folic acid, which is a crucial nutrient for cardiovascular health. Folic acid converts homocysteine into plain harmless molecules. That protects your blood vessels, reducing the risks of stroke and heart attack.
• Basil – Basil is a wonderful food for cardiovascular health thanks to the minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients in it. Its volatile oils and flavonoids also provide unique and important health benefits.
