It often happens that the healthiest products are nearby. We seem to be accustomed to them, and often do not pay attention to them. But in vain! Some vegetables that are familiar to us have truly magical benefits. Our expert, famous seaside doctor, head of the Artem Health Center Elena Voronchuk, advises paying attention to garlic.
“I know everything regarding the smell, but the benefits of garlic are such that you should still use it,” says Elena Voronchuk. — Raw garlic not only strengthens the immune system, helps fight colds and flu, but also generally reduces the level of inflammation in the body. It contains a whole storehouse of vitamins – B1, B6, C, selenium, potassium, manganese, as well as a substance such as allicin.
Allicin is a compound found in garlic that lowers cholesterol and improves heart health. That is, regular consumption of garlic reduces the formation of blood clots and thus helps prevent thromboembolism.
Allicin also helps stabilize blood pressure. In addition, the antioxidants in garlic help normalize blood sugar levels and reduce homocysteine levels. Thanks to these properties, the product is also beneficial for the prevention of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
In addition, the bioactive component of garlic, S-allylcysteine, protects nerve cells, which serves as prevention once morest certain diseases, for example, reduces the risk of dementia (including vascular dementia) and Alzheimer’s disease.
“We must remember that garlic must be eaten raw, since allicin is destroyed by heat,” emphasizes Elena Voronchuk. – It is recommended for an adult to eat 4 g of garlic per day.
