The effects of Garlic

Garlic is anti-coagulant and antioxidant. It promotes fat metabolism and reduces its accumulation. It increases high-density lipoprotein HDL while decreasing low-density lipoprotein LDL. A Czech study found garlic supplementation reduced accumulation of cholesterol on the vascular walls of animals. And a 2012 meta-analysis of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials looking at the effects of garlic on serum lipid profiles found garlic was superior to placebo in reducing serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels.  Moreover, garlic helps regulate blood sugar levels and is effective in preventing diabetes.

Garlic is anti-parasitic. It is more effective than antibiotics in fighting against bacteria. fungal and harmful microorganisms. This is because garlic contains Allicin, which can even fight against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans.

In addition, it can prevent stomach and intestinal cancer and eliminate atherosclerotic embolization of up to 18%.
