Prevention of Heart Disease
Consuming garlic on a daily basis (in food or raw) helps
to lower cholesterol levels because of the anti-oxidant
properties of Allicin. It is also immensely beneficial to
regulate blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
It is essential to remember that the sulphur-containing
compound Allicin tends to lose its medicinal properties
when garlic is cooked whole. It is imperative to consume
garlic raw or semi-cooked to derive any of its benefits.
