GARLIC
Health Benefits
Garlic aids in the detoxification of peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide and helps to prevent fats from being oxidized and deposited in tissues and arteries. It contains antioxidant nutrients such as vitamins A and C and selenium.
It reduces blood cholesterol levels, thus lowering the risk of heart attack; provides protection from heart disease by preventing clots that can lead to heart attack and strokes; and helps lower high blood pressure.
Garlic is useful for many diseases and illnesses, including cancer. It is a potent immune system stimulant and a natural antibiotic. It's a powerful detoxifier that also destroys dangerous bacteria in the colon.
Garlic is also effective against fungal infections, and garlic oil is good for the heart and colon, and is effective in the treatment of arthritis, candidiasis, and circulation problems.
