GARLIC
Garlic is one of the most intensely studied substances showing incredible benefits for the body. With over 65 dynamic health-promoting elements, garlic lowers cholesterol and blood sugar levels, decreases the risk of heart attack and stroke, and helps inhibit the development of blood clots and cancerous tumors. Garlic binds with toxic heavy metals in the body so that they can be excreted. It has been shown that garlic prevents fats from taking up residence in your tissues and arteries. Garlic also contains vitamins A, C and the mineral selenium. As with curcumin, garlic protects DNA against damage, protects blood vessels and the liver, lowers high cholesterol and blood pressure levels, lowers the risk of heart attack, prevents clots that might lead to heart attacks and strokes and guards against damage from the sun. The most effective type of garlic supplement to take is aged garlic. There are supplements that are odorless and tasteless.

Garlic could even lower the risk of certain types of cancers, including stomach cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, breast, colon and esophageal cancer. Recent studies seem to indicate that garlic lowered blood sugar levels and increased the release of insulin, which is good news for people living with diabetes. These studies are very preliminary and have only been conducted on lab animals.

CAUTIONS
Nursing mothers can pass substances on to their babies. For this reason, garlic and/or garlic supplements should be avoided until after you’ve stopped nursing your baby. Garlic intensifies the effects of blood thinners, antibiotics, antifungals, steroids, and anti-inflammatories. Talk with your health care professional before taking garlic supplements if you are currently taking any of these prescription medications.
