 Garlic
is a great antioxidant booster
Untitled Document
Are you looking for an antioxidant booster? Many people love garlic
for its taste. The Italians, for example would not dream of any
dish without a dash of garlic. There are many people in this world,
who have to have a few pods accompanying their meals come what may.
Many people know that a regular intake of garlic is beneficial for
the body. However, few know exactly how this is so.
Antioxidant Boosters - garlic
From time immemorial garlic has been used for its medicinal properties.
In ancient times it was recognized as the best cure for measles,
heart disease, colds, snake bites and the legendary vampire bites.
On a surreal note, garlic is said to repel ghosts and vampires.
Modern science has accepted most of these claims which have also
been proved through repeated studies and experiments on lab animals
as mice and guinea pigs. Science has clearly endorsed through various
reports the fact that garlic acts in many instances as an antioxidant
booster. This in turn, results in lowering of bad cholesterol (and
thence reducing the danger of heart attack and stroke), better digestion,
reverses tumors and even fights cancer.
 How
to boost your antioxidants intake
The garlic can act as an antioxidant booster only when ingested
raw. When cooked, garlic looses its antioxidant properties. However,
to the relief of many, one need not bite it; it is sufficient to
swallow the pod, if you do not like the taste. Many people avoid
it because its taste and smell is too strong and “bad”.
Owing to the sulphur it contains it has a typical smell which many
people find offensive. The garlic smell will remain in the person’s
breath for along time (even after consuming mint chewing gum), and
it is known to be present even in the semen and sweat of a person.
 Great
vitamin booster
Besides acting as an antioxidant booster, garlic has also a host
of medicinal properties, i.e. anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory,
anti-viral and antibiotic properties. Garlic, is in fact, a powerhouse
of goodness for the human body. Consuming just two-four pods a day
would ensure that your body is immune to most of the common infections,
heart attack and stroke, skin disease, aging, and so on. This is
more or less the activity which is tied up to its ability to act
as an antioxidant booster.
The ability of the garlic to get the body rid of toxins, which
include carcinogens, makes this herb invaluable and a must-have
on every person’s plate at least twice a day.
