Benefits Of Raw Garlic

Eat Raw Garlic

What do you think about the benefits or so-called benefits of garlic? No, I am not talking about getting rid of Vampires but as a cure or help to human health. I have searched the network and found these points of interest:

Unlike modern antibiotics, garlic needs no prescription. And it's cheap, so we don't even need universal health care to partake. There are many other purported health benefits of garlic, regarding cholesterol, blood pressure, and so on. But for me, it's worth it even if the only advantage is getting sick less.

The Good in Garlic

The key to garlic's health benefits is allicin. This pungent and powerful phytochemical (a plant compound that has protective health benefits) is also responsible for garlic's telltale odor. Ironically, there is no allicin in an intact clove of fresh garlic: Allicin forms when the plant cells within the garlic clove are damaged, such as through crushing or cooking.

Garlic's ability to manufacture allicin serves to defend the plant against insects, bacteria, viruses, fungal organisms, and other invaders. Soon after allicin is formed, the compound breaks down into a host of other compounds.

These compounds act as antioxidants, anticancer agents, anticlotting agents, and detoxifiers. This array of helpful, natural elements differs according to whether the garlic is heated, dried, aged, or eaten fresh.

Garlic Raw Benefits

I *love* garlic -- fresh, roasted, powdered, whatever. I use garlic in a lot of my cooking, from soups to omelettes I know "now" that there are health benefits, but didn't know it for many years. So I do try to use it in as fresh a state as possible. Yum Yum!

Farseer, lets hope you do not make it too much of a habit for the next date

I have begun to experiment with garlic. The interesting part to the above (first post) is that the garlic's properties are activated when you crush or cut it, so I make sure to do this well before eatting.

Offtopic but, Hey, maybe that's why I haven't had a date in 7 years eh?

Yes, I noticed that the "good" properties aren't activated until it gets wounded -- interesting for a plant to have such a self-preservation mechanism...

Garlic Raw Benefits

I, too, love garlic. I always squeeze it into my dishes. This way you get the most "bang for your buck." I also love the smell of garlic. Not on people, but in food. :--> It is interesting to me that if you eat garlic you won't smell it on someone else who has also eaten. So, if you go on a date, make sure you both get something with garlic. That way it won't matter.

Benefits Of Raw Garlic

Since I have recently been diagnosed with high triglycerides, I have started using commercially available garlic tablets. I don't know yet what, if any, good it has done for my cholesterol, but I know that the mosquitoes have not been bothering me! (While my wife and children have been complaining of being eaten alive!)

However, based on the information at the beginning of this topic, I think I am going to have to focus more on using fresh garlic in my food.

Some excellent information there.

Benefits Raw Garlic

Yes, garlic is almost like a miracle, it is good at stopping colds too. Right now everyone in my home is very sick (past week now) and I decided to start eating garlic and it has kept the sickness at bay so I could keep on working. As for tablets... I never believe those are good substitutes, especially since the properties that need to work only occur when the garlic is cut or crushed, unless they have been able to somehow save those chemicals in a gel cap?

FOR THE SMELL OF IT: GARLIC

My dear father, who lived until almost 90, made a point of eating raw garlic and onions daily, reminding us just as often that `garlic and onions clean the blood.
