Garlic

Garlic is one of the world’s oldest medicinal foods on the planet. This global remedy’s benefits have been documented in over 1000 pharmacological studies!

Here are some reasons why;

• Garlic lowers cholesterol: Studies have shown that garlic has lowered LDL (bad cholesterol) while raising HDL (good cholesterol)
• Prevents blood clots: An active ingredient in Garlic - allicin helps prevent platelets in the blood from sticking together (blood clots), thus decreasing the risk of heart attacks
• Anticancer Properties: Epidemiological evidence has shown a decreased risk of stomach and colon cancer in areas where the consumption of garlic is high

In order to take advantage of its full potential, I recommend to crush or chop it. The preparation of garlic is crucial for its release of it’s health providing benefits. The more the compounds interact through chopping or crushing, the better!

Rather then butter or high calorie sauces, add some flavor with garlic
