Garlic for your health!
Table of Contents
1. Release the ally
Garlic contains sulfuric compounds, enzymes, amino acids and minerals. Its specific taste and aroma give it sulfur-containing compounds. Among these, we distinguish allicin, a biologically active substance that exhibits a number of antibacterial and antifungal properties. Allicin is produced only after the consumption or crushing of garlic. Its most healthful properties are raw. However, due to its characteristic taste and odor properties, garlic in this form may be unsuitable for consumption.2. Fight the infection!
Garlic is often referred to as a natural antibiotic. Many studies emphasize the beneficial effects of garlic on the body's defense properties. Garlic strengthens and regulates the cellular responses of the immune system, thus reducing the risk of influenza or other infections. However, if someone is already ill, garlic can help to shorten the time for the onset of annoying symptoms by having a strong antibacterial effect. As previously mentioned, extracts from garlic containing allyl have anti-fungal effects.3. Garlic for obesity and seizures
Recent research shows that garlic contains sulfuric substances that exhibit anti-inflammatory properties and can effectively protect against the formation of fat cells of adipocytes. Currently, obesity is seen as a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to many complications, including atherosclerosis. This is because garlic produces many hormones and inflammatories, it is not just an energy store, as was once thought.4. Something for athletes
Garlic was one of the first performance-enhancing substances used by Olympic athletes in ancient Greece. Its action is to improve oxygen transport in the body by affecting iron metabolism. Iron is essential for the production of red hemoglobin in blood cells, which binds to oxygen.5. A cure for cancer?
The compounds contained in garlic have strong anti-cancer properties. They help fight free radicals that contribute to cell damage and their mutations in cancer cells. They have also been shown to activate the molecule that protects against cancer. Garlic's bactericidal properties help fight the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which is responsible for inflammation, ulcers and, consequently, stomach cancer. It also protects from the harmful effects of heavy metals, which are also potentially carcinogenic.
