Several Health Benefits of Garlic
Published Wednesday, October 29, 2008 by bloggerblognet73751.
For thousands of years people have been relying on garlic to cure numerous diseases. This particular compound has been shown to treat anything from the common cold to high blood pressure. With as little as 4 calories per clove, this particular veggie is an immune boosting hero. Just a single clove of garlic contains 5 mg of calcium, 12 mg of potassium, and more than 100 sulfuric compounds. These sulfuric compounds are powerful enough to wipe out bacteria and infection from the body.
The best way to consume garlic for health purposes is raw. When garlic is cooked or dried it loses a lot of its health benefits. Heat and water appear to inactivate the beneficial sulfur enzymes. When the sulfur enzymes lose their power they basically diminish the garlic's antibiotic effects. Other than its antibiotic effect, garlic has also proven to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. That is why there are many garlic based supplements available at the local grocery stores today which are said to aid in lowering cholesterol levels. Garlic has also been known to kill numerous parasites in the body. With all of its health benefits, what person wouldn't want to add garlic into their diet?
However, if you absolutely can't stand the taste or the smell of garlic, are there any sulfur rich alternatives available out there today? As a matter of fact there are. A few other products which contain numerous sulfuric compounds include Brussels sprouts, cabbage, chives, kale, leeks, onions, and shallots. All of these products contain numerous sulfuric compounds; however, they may not have the infection fighting power of garlic. So if you feel like your immune system needs a boost or maybe you feel a cold coming on, try grinding up some fresh garlic and putting it on a sandwich. You will be amazed at the results!
