Abstract Sesame seeds are actually one of the major ancient foods on Earth. Indeed, sesame plants are the aged acknowledged plant species to be developed largely for their seeds and oils rather than for their leaves, fruits or vegetables. Several researches have ascertained an association between functional components of food, health and well-being. Hypertension and atherosclerosis are primarily responsible for cardiovascular diseases globally. Drug treatment alone might not be adequate enough for treatment of either the hypertension or atherosclerosis without the involvement of any dietary management. Therefore sesame and garlic mix become an integral part in course of the cardiovascular disease therapy. Thus, this review distinctively acknowledges the functional components of sesame and garlic mixes which can be effective in the treatment and prevention of diseases. They act concurrently at various or similar target sites with the prospective to impart physiological benefits and promotion of well being including reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and other chronic degenerative diseases by lowering of blood cholesterol as well as neutralization of reactive oxygen species and charged radicals.

Keywords: Sesame seeds, Garlic, Cardiovascular diseases, reactive oxygen species.
