Eat Garlic For Anti-Aging and Good Health


Garlic is one of nature's best anti-aging agents. It is a powerful immune system booster, blood purifier, anti-inflammatory agent, antioxidant and the list goes on. Studies have shown measurable health benefits to eating fresh garlic daily. Approximately one clove of fresh garlic a day can help keep the doctor away. Eating a clove a day can:
  • improve brain health and agility
  • reduce the chances of catching a cold by up to 63%
  • boost the immune system in general 
  • strengthen your bones
  • improve stamina
  • decrease hypertension
  • increase circulation
  • boost heart health
  • detox the body of heavy metals
  • act as a natural pain remedy
  • heal allergies


    Steaming, sauteing or roasting garlic will mellow the flavor and odor, if that is a concern. Raw garlic chopped, pureed or sliced is very, very good for the body, however, it can create stomach upset for some. One clove a day can easily be worked into salads, soups, main dishes, smoothies and side dishes. Challenge yourself to eat a clove a day for one month and notice the impact on your allergies, your circulation or any aches and pains you regularly put up with.

  2. I liked it and enjoyed reading it. Keep sharing such important post. Apart from this you should read this article. Garlic is a popular herb in the kitchen and in the medicine cabinet, and has been for thousands of years in many different cultures around the world. The herb that we use is actually the bulb of the Allium sativum plant. The cloves of the bulb contain active sulphur compounds called alliin, allicin, and S-allyl cysteine. These constituents have been well studied for their various health benefits. Garlic has many benefits for cardiovascular health, including cholesterol regulation, blood pressure lowering, and improved circulation. It also helps to regulate blood sugar levels, and acts as a potent antimicrobial. For more information Check out this Garlic article.
