“Garlic contains ajoene molecules that decrease platelet aggregation, which is excessive blood clumping that can cause blood clots and lead to stroke,” says Routhenstein. Raw garlic, in particular, can help fight blood clots.
Routhenstein recommends eating about one or two garlic cloves a day. So, consuming hummus or enjoying a Tzatziki dip are delicious and healthy ways for stroke prevention.
