What Are The Health Benefits Of Eating Garlic?

Are you looking for something natural, readily available

, versatile, low-cost and delicious that can help boost your immune system to fight off viruses, stabilise blood pressure, even out blood sugar levels, as well as help to prevent heart disease and strokes?

Well you need look no further than the humble garlic plant for help with all of the above.

Garlic has been used for thousands of years in human history. Even Tutankhamen, the famous Egyptian pharaoh had garlic bulbs placed in his tomb along with gold and treasures for him to take to the afterlife. In fact garlic was regularly fed to the slaves that built the pyramids to keep them healthy and disease free.

Hippocrates was known to use garlic as part of his healing regime to prevent infections after performing early forms of surgery on his patients over 4000 years ago.

Garlic is also a natural insect repellent. During the Black Plague epidemic of the 14th century, people who ate garlic and carried cloves or bulbs in their clothes were less likely to be infected with the disease as the fleas that carried the plague were repelled by the smell.

With such historical heavyweights backing up the health benefits of garlic, how can you possibly doubt the benefits it will bring to you by including it in your own diet.

When it comes to eating garlic, most people will either say they love it or hate it. Some people like eating garlic, but do not like the garlic breath it gives you afterwards. Some people who work at jobs that involve a lot of personal interaction will be put off taking garlic for fear of offending others.

There are a lot of non-odour garlic supplements on the market that can deliver all the health benefits that garlic offers without the smelly after-effects.

Without getting too technical, garlic has a lot of sulfur based enzymes that are potent healing agents that may be able to thin blood and remove blood fats that can help to prevent strokes and heart disease, detox the liver, and cleanse the body of harmful bacteria that could lead to illness.

If you want to increase the amount of garlic you eat, here are some suggestions:

Add whole cloves of garlic to your roast potatoes half way through cooking, or to the pan around your roast about 20 minutes before the end of cooking.

Add garlic puree to your mashed potato, savoury mince dishes, fried chicken, and marinades.

Enjoy and stay healthy!
