Thinks to consider about this recipe:
- Garlic may lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, promoting cardiovascular health. It is also antioxidant rich, combating oxidative stress.
- Cilantro may improve heart health, decrease anxiety, lower blood sugar levels, and protect against oxidative stress. It is also low in calories but high in antioxidants, along with vitamin K and vitamin A.
- This recipe is good for those experiencing elevated blood pressure or for those who would like to improve their overall cardiovascular health.
- However, this recipe contains mayonnaise, which is calorie-dense and high in fat. Using too much of the sauce can increase blood pressure due to the fatty acid content
