Health Benefits of Garlic.
The only natural herb known to contain enough power potent enough to fight Cancer cells in the human body is GARLIC. Recognised by
its unpleasant smell, Garlic is very rich in sugars, proteins, calcium,
potassium, phosphorus, iodine, silicon, vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B3, sulphur compounds, and oil soluble nutrients. The Presence of Sulphur in
Garlic is the cause of its pungent smell and the reason you get that
awful breath. However, the quality of Garlic cannot be overridden due to
this smell. Allicin (an organosulfur compound obtained from garlic) is a natural antibiotic. Proven to be stronger than tetracycline and penicillin. Ajoene is
another compound found in Garlic which impedes the formation of blood
clots in the arteries. Thus, helps to prevent stroke and control cholesterol levels in the blood. Garlic is also very rich in Selenium.
This indispensable element is used in the neutralisation of free radicals
which helps to prevent several illnesses. Selenium is an antioxidant,
helping to slow the effect of cell oxidation and Ageing. Combined with
vitamin A and E, the rejuvenating power of Selenium and Ajoene are increased.
Another compound found in Garlic is called Saponin.
This compound also helps to lower blood pressure, thus preventing
stroke. Fructose is also found in garlic. It helps to stimulate the
immune system. Below are 13 essential and proven health benefits of eating Garlic every day.
1. Reduction of Fat in the Blood: It has been demonstrated and proven that Garlic promotes a decrease of low-density lipoprotein (dangerous) from about 7% to 22% and increases high-density protein (favourable) from 15% to 31%. In addition, it lowers cholesterol and triglycerides from 15% to 20%.
2. Prevents Hypertension – Garlic acts as a vasodilator which
helps to widen the blood vessels, making blood flow easier. This helps
to lower blood pressure. Experiments show signs of this effect in more
than 75% of people and patients.

regulates the cardiac rhythm of the heart, helping to avoid Arrhythmia.
This is beneficial for people who have accelerated heart rate and
Cardiac Arrhythmia.
4. Anti-Diabetic: Garlic
can be a huge help to people living with diabetes and helps to prevent
it as well because it helps to lower the glucose in the blood. This is
due to the fact that it increases the secretion of Insulin. Insulin is in charge of regulating normal sugar levels in the blood.

juices which are responsible for digesting the nutrients. It also helps
to promote, relax and tone the Digestive system.
