Health Benefits of Garlic

Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, used to prescribe garlic to treat a variety of medical conditions. Many of these beneficial health effects have been confirmed by modern science too. Now let us discuss some health benefits of garlic that are supported by human research.

Combat Sickness

Garlic boosts the function of the immune system. A study showed that a daily garlic supplement reduces the number of colds and a high dose of aged garlic extract (2.56 grams per day) reduced the number of days sick with cold or flu.

Reduce Blood Pressure

High blood pressure or hypertension, is one of the most important drivers of cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and strokes. To have a significant impact on reducing blood pressure in people with high blood pressure, researchers have found garlic supplements.

Reduce Cholesterol Levels

Garlic can lower LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. Garlic supplements appear to reduce total and/or LDL cholesterol by about 10–15%, for those with high cholesterol.

Helps Detoxify Heavy Metals in the Body

The sulfur compounds in garlic protect organ damage from heavy metal toxicity.

Improve Bone Health

One study in menopausal women showed that a daily dose of dry garlic extract (equal to 2 grams of raw garlic) significantly decreased a marker of estrogen deficiency.

So, this suggests that garlic has beneficial effects on bone health in women.
Foods like garlic may also have beneficial effects on osteoarthritis too.

Discover the Potential Immune-System Benefits of Vitamin D

A healthy immune system is important at all times, but especially so in these days of the novel coronavirus and heightened awareness about the spread of germs. You can support a healthy immune system by eating well, exercising and getting plenty of sleep. Supplements with vitamins that support the immune system, such as vitamin D, may help, too. Sunlight remains a key source of vitamin D, but because people are less able to get outside, supplements may be increasingly beneficial. This is especially true for those who live in the northern hemisphere. As an immune- system support, vitamin D has the science to back up its potential. In 2017, the British Medical Journal published a meta-analysis of 25 studies in which vitamin D showed the potential to protect against acute respiratory tract infections, especially among individuals who were also deficient in vitamin D. In addition, Dr. Tom Frieden, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview w...
