12 Reasons Why Eating Garlic Helps To Develop a Powerful Mind
Introduction:
Today I want to talk about garlic and the health benefits that accrue from its consistent use. You are all conversant with the saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor a way”. Borrowing from that I want to state: “A clove a day to keep the doctor away”
I will blog about garlic and blood lipids, the immune system and some noted side effects.
1. BLOOD LIPIDS
• Reduces Cells Production Of Fat
• Increases The Breakdown Of Fats
• Lowers LDL Cholesterol
• Raises HDL Cholesterol
• Inhibits Platelet Aggregation
• Lowers Blood Pressure
• Prevents Formation Of Clots In Bloodstream
• Lowers blood sugar levels by raising insulin levels
2. THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Garlic stimulates specific white blood cells which cause the following benefits:
• carbon particles cleared from bloodstream
• increased production of antibodies
• cancer cells destroyed
• tumor cells destroyed
Note: Garlic is best eaten raw. Cooking can destroy some of the “allicin” compound which is responsible for the powerful healing effects of garlic.
3. SIDE EFFECTS
• Garlic breath.
• Allergies
i. skin rash,
ii. temperature
iii. headaches
• disrupt anti-coagulants, so always avoid it before surgery
Note: As with any medicine, always and always check with your doctor first and tell your doctor if you are using it.
In my next blog, I will look at Onions and their benefits to our health. Remember a healthy body will always lead to a healthy, powerful mind.
Best regards,
