For years, garlic has been used to flavor the most popular dishes out there. However, few are aware of its general health benefits.
In fact, by having the anticoagulant function, it improves circulation, reduces the level of fats in the blood and lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and increases the body’s defenses in general, according to the portal Salud180.
In addition, by improving heart health, it promotes circulation, reduces bad cholesterol or LDL, dilates blood vessels and prevents arteriosclerosis. It would help in this way to accelerate the metabolism, according to the portal Better with Health.
A study carried out by researchers from the Institute of Toxicology of Shandong University (China), carried out a meta-analysis that analyzed 26 previous works that evaluated the effects of garlic on cholesterol levels. In general, garlic was superior to placebo in reducing serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG). The results suggest that the effects of garlic were more marked in people with long-term treatment.
However, to obtain all its benefits, the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests these guidelines: a daily dose of 2 to 5 g of fresh garlic (approximately a clove of garlic), 0.4 to 1.2 g dry powdered garlic, 2 to 5 mg garlic oil, 300 to 1,000 mg garlic extract, or other equivalent formulations of 2 to 5 mg allicin.
