Benefits of Garlic in your daily diet.

The most popular illness going around is the flu and I have a perfect healer for you.

Garlic: can be consumed raw, used in foods daily, swallowed under pill form...

Immune System Support: Garlic and other spices and herbs are often recommended to strengthen immunity against cold and flu. Studies show that garlic boosts the body's production of white blood cells, the body's best defense against pathogenic invaders.

Vitamins and Minerals: Garlic is high in vitamins C and B6. It is also a good source of the minerals manganese, calcium, phosphorus and selenium.

Garlic for Cholesterol and Hearth Health: Garlic has been found to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, blood pressure, and plaque formation. One study at the University of California found that 200 mg of aged garlic extract taken daily lowered heart attack risk by 65%

Anti-aging and Anticancer Benefits of Garlic: Antioxidants prevent damage to the cells – the kind of damage that can lead to memory loss, wrinkled skin, and even cancer. Garlic cloves are high in antioxidants that prevent this kind of damage. Studies indicate that garlic may cut chances of stomach cancer by 50% and colon cancer by 35%.

Repelling mosquitos, fleas and other insects: Garlic is often touted as a natural flea deterrent for pets, and can even be used by humans to repel mosquitos, fleas, ticks and other biting bugs. It might not work against vampires, but even odorless garlic supplements will deter most insects.
