Scientists have extensively studied garlic over the last four decades. It lowers the risk of heartdisease, helps to reduce LDL cholesterol, and to increase HDL cholesterol. Garlic can also
help to reduce triglycerides. Did you know that garlic reduces blood pressure and is helpful in
the prevention of the hardening of the arteries called atherosclerosis?
Garlic helps keep the blood flowing freely throughout the peripheral circulatory system. Some
people have leg cramps due to poor circulation in the legs, and garlic can be helpful in
preventing this painful condition.
A clove of garlic daily is beneficial for heart health. Garlic provides multiple health benefits,
including mood-regulating functions, improving the flow of bile, and hormone production. It
can also help to expel pinworms. Because it’s metabolized partially by the respiratory system,
garlic is especially beneficial for respiratory ills. It’s rich in antioxidants, iodine, and sulfur.
Blood clots can cause a lot of problems in the body. For example, when a blood clot lodges in
the brain, a stroke can occur. When blood clots lodge in the heart, a heart attack can result.
Yet, if you consume a substance such as garlic on a regular basis, then you’re preventing the
formation of these blood clots. Can you see how this lowly herb can be a powerful medicine?
Garlic’s relatives, such as onions, shallots, leeks, and chives, all contain similar constituents,
but to a lesser degree. Garlic has been a popular folk medicine for centuries. In some
societies, garlic was worn around the neck to fight off evil and disease. In fact, the disease part
of the tradition actually worked! One of the keys to this is allicin, a natural antibiotic that’s
found in garlic. Garlic is best used fresh or lightly cooked. For people who don’t like to eat garlic, try putting
the garlic pieces between your toes overnight with the help of a sock. The healing properties of
garlic are quickly absorbed through the skin. You’ll be able to tell that it’s working because
the person will exhale garlic breath. If you’re afraid of having garlic breath, you can find commercially available odor-free supplements. Check with your health care provider before you start increasing your intake of garlic if you’re on blood thinners or a surgery is planned, as garlic possesses anticoagulant characteristics.
