Garlic. The miracle food

Due to its antibacterial and antiviral characteristics, garlic effectively fights oral bacteria and supports your immune system. These properties are associated with allicin, a compound which is formed from alliin, an amino acid contained in garlic.

Garlic is able to boost your collagen and elastin production. It also protects the skin from UV radiation and thus inhibits the process of senescence.

Garlic has positive effects on blood pressure, decreases very low-density lipoproteins and activates some antioxidant enzymes. It also has anti-fatigue effects though the way it works is not clear yet.

This effect is based on antioxidant properties which garlic possesses. It slows down brain ageing, improves memory and prevents Alzheimer's disease.

According to studies, ajoene found in garlic provokes apoptosis of fat cells. It can be used in the complex treatment of obesity.

Due to its antibacterial properties, garlic changes the way the body smells and thus makes men more attractive to women.
