What are the effects of garlic

Garlic is a common condiment in our daily life, and it is also popular because of its unique taste. But do you know all the amazing effects of garlic? Let's take a look!

Anti-cancer

The sulfur-containing compounds in garlic induce the body to produce an enzyme that has an anti-mutagenic effect (cancer is a mutation of cells). Through the enzyme, it enhances detoxification, interferes with the activation of carcinogens, prevents cancer formation, enhances immune function, blocks the formation of lipid peroxidation and anti-mutagenic in many ways, avoiding the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells. The trace element selenium contained in garlic also has the effect of killing cancer cells and reducing the incidence of cancer.

Aphrodisiac

Studies have shown that garlic has the ability to improve male sexual performance, it is beneficial in treating male impotence and promoting male erectile function. In addition, garlic is also a kidney tonic and can improve the quality of male sperm.

Bactericidal and detoxification

Garlic contains about 2% allicin, which is 1/10th of penicillin's bactericidal ability and has obvious inhibiting and killing effects on many kinds of pathogenic bacteria such as staphylococcus, meningitis, pneumonia, streptococcus and diphtheria, dysentery, typhoid, paratyphoid, tuberculosis bacillus and vibrio cholerae. It also kills more kinds of pathogenic fungi and hookworms, pinworms and trichomonads. Eating garlic raw is an effective way to prevent influenza and to prevent intestinal infections and diseases. However, it should be noted that allicin is easily destroyed under high temperature and loses its bactericidal effect.

Weight loss

The effect of weight loss should be a favorite of many mm. Garlic contains certain substances that induce fat metabolism within the tissues, which has the effect of lowering blood lipids and lowering cholesterol.

Prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Garlic promotes vasodilation and has the effect of lowering blood pressure. It also prevents the deposition of fat in the cardiovascular system, strengthens cardiovascular permeability, and has the function of preventing blood clots and atherosclerosis. Researchers once tested 50 people in Laoshan County and had them eat 50 grams of raw garlic daily, and after 6 days, the levels of total serum cholesterol, triglycerides and l3 lipoproteins were measured to be significantly lower than before the experiment. Therefore, adults who eat a few cloves of garlic at mealtime every day are well positioned to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Anti-platelet coagulation

Garlic essential oil has an inhibitory effect on platelet coagulation by altering the physicochemical properties of platelet membranes, thereby affecting platelet pinch and release functions, inhibiting fibrinogen receptors on platelet membranes, inhibiting platelet binding to fibrinogen, affecting sulfur groups on platelet membranes, and altering platelet function.
