Garlic is one of the three super foods- onion, garlic and ginger. Today, we will focus on the health benefits of garlic.

“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.” The Greek physician Hippocrates, often called the father of Western medicine, often prescribed garlic to treat a variety of conditions. Garlic is a plant in the Allium (onion) family, related to onions, shallots and leeks. The garlic bulb is composed of about 10–20 cloves. It is a popular ingredient in cooking due to its strong smell and delicious taste. Throughout ancient history, the main use of garlic was for its health and medicinal properties by the Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Chinese, Romans and others.

Garlic: One clove (3 grams) of raw garlic contains:

  • Manganese: 2% of the Daily Value (DV)
  • Vitamin B6: 2% of the DV
  • Vitamin C: 1% of the DV
  • Selenium: 1% of the DV
  • Fiber: 0.06 grams
  • Decent amounts of calcium, copper, potassium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin B1

This comes with 4.5 calories, 0.2 grams of protein and 1 gram of carbs.

Garlic supplements are known to boost the function of the immune system. One large, 12-week study found that a daily garlic supplement reduced the number of colds by 63% compared to a placebo and reduced the length of colds by 70%. Garlic is found to be as effective as medication in reducing blood pressure at four cloves a day or 600 mg aged garlic supplements. Garlic contains antioxidants that protect against cell damage and aging. It may reduce cholesterol and the risk of Alzheimer’s diseases. Garlic reduces the rate of bone loss, helps cleanse the body of heavy metals and may help you live longer due to the multiple actions listed above.

You can eat garlic raw, sautéed, in many dishes and even roasted in olive oil. Keep plenty to eat everyday.

Another option is a garlic supplement or aged garlic supplements.

Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract originated from time-tested organic farming techniques free from pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. Organic cultivation is essential to grow pure and natural garlic bulbs which are well balanced in nutrients. Harvested at full maturity, the garlic cloves are naturally aged to convert harsh and odoriferous compounds into mild, odorless and stable water-soluble sulfur containing compounds which offer the benefits of garlic. Kyolic is quality assured from soil to shelf.

Aging is a process that allows us to surrender what matters least so we can take ahold of what matters most.  You die once, but you live everyday! Take the best care of yourself that you can, so you can enjoy your life.
