What is the use of a product that some love and others avoid

We continue a series of materials about the effect of different products on the body.

Garlic is either loved or hated. Love – for the breathtaking aroma that it gives to many dishes. Hated – for a specific smell, which subsequently deprives the breath of freshness. However, few people think about the benefits that this small bulb can bring.

YOUR BODY BECOME IN SHAPE FASTER

The fact is that garlic is a real “charge” of vitamin B6. One hundred grams contains about 0.38 milligrams of this substance, which contributes to the activation of metabolic processes, which means accelerating weight loss. No vegetable can compete with garlic in this advantage – only nuts, liver and fish can serve as an alternative.

THE LEVEL OF THE “FEMALE HORMONE” ESTROGEN INCREASES

Numerous studies involving women have proven that with a daily intake of about two grams of garlic per day, estrogen levels in the body increase. This has a positive effect on reproductive function, reduces the symptoms of PMS, stimulates bone growth and harmonizes the mental state. Remember: only two grams a day (dating can be an exception).

FEELING OF FATIGUE REDUCED

If you complain of chronic fatigue, be sure to include garlic in your diet. Since ancient times, it has been given to people employed in heavy production to improve their performance. Even if you do not work at the machine, it is worth a try. Subsequent studies have confirmed the historical fact: consuming garlic oil for a month and a half, participants in one of the experiments found that they began to endure physical activity more easily.

THE FIGHT AGAINST AGING

Garlic may not magically improve the beauty of skin, hair, and nails, but it does protect the brain from premature aging and prevent diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. The antioxidants in garlic activate mechanisms that protect brain cells from oxidative damage.

IMMUNITY IS STRENGTHENED

The defenses of our body weaken with various kinds of inflammation. Garlic, in addition to many useful vitamins and amino acids, contains allicin – a substance with strong anti-inflammatory properties, which is immediately sent to “hot spots”. That is why even our grandmothers recommended us to use it for colds.
