Eating garlic won't only ward off vampires, but it can also help you stall having to claim on your sickness insurance.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide have discovered that just 12 weeks of treatment with garlic tablets could lead to a "significant" cut in blood pressure, slashing the risk of a stroke or heart attack.
However, they are keen to add that garlic should only be used to supplement other treatments and not replace them.
Dr Karin Ried [sic] remarks that their test subjects saw blood pressure readings drop by 10mmHg and notes that "this reduction is clinically significant, as a drop in systolic blood pressure by 5mmHg reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by eight to twenty per cent."
Although it can lower the risk, people with a history of high blood pressure may still want to consider sickness insurance for extra peace of mind.
