GARLICKY BENEFITS


The only health benefit I knew about garlic back then is its ability to lower the blood pressure. I could well remember my dad, a hypertensive, chewing off a clove to keep his BP down.
But, leafing through one web page to another, I soon learned that garlic has other benefits, as well. It may be used as a broad-spectrum antibiotic and even as a treatment for acne symptoms. It has also been found to have powerful antioxidant effects which protect the body from free radicals, and prevent incidence of common colds and flu. Garlic, too, can aid in managing high cholesterol levels, and may be used as a natural mosquito repellent. Visit this page for more http://www.garlic-central.com/garlic-health.html
Largely responsible for the health benefits of garlic are allicin and diallyl sulphides. This site, http://www.garlic-central.com/garlic-health.html, explains why.
