Garlic
Benefits
Most people think of garlic as a flavoring agent to spice up foods. Garlic is an extremely powerful functional food; it contains a number of organic compounds that help protect the human body. Here are a few of the benefits that garlic provides:
Lowers blood pressure
Lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol
Has powerful antioxidant properties
Helps regulate blood sugar
Is a potent natural antibiotic
Make it a habit to add fresh garlic to your food and order foods prepared with garlic. If you suffer from high blood pressure, many doctors recommend consuming one clove of raw garlic per day.
Triggers
Many people have raw garlic displayed in their kitchen in baskets or bags hanging from the ceiling. This is a great visual cue to remind you to add it to your favorite dish.
I love cooking with garlic. Great taste and great health benefits.
Bon Appetite
