Garlic-Great for Your Health, Bad for Your Breath
I am a huge fan of GARLIC!! I probably eat it every day! I put cloves into my green smoothies, eat it with eggs, veggies, fish, quinoa, and more! I feel sorry for my family, friends, and coworkers! hahahGarlic is one of the oldest medicinal foods on the planet. It is an agent for lowering cholesterol, reduces plaque, is chemo-protective, helps with weight control, has a positive effect on blood pressure, treats worms and other parasites, and decreases the risk of cancer. Garlic neutralizes dozens of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It fends off aging through its antioxidant properties, and contains strong antibacterial and antiviral compounds that boost your resistance to stress-induced colds and infections. The sulfur found in garlic promotes the elimination of toxins from the blood, lymph, and body. It helps purify the body, has immune-enhancing properties, and contains many phytonutrients.
