Eat garlic before a date. It's not a joke. You can also eat it if you want to lose weight. This herb has more benefits than we think. Here's what garlic can do for your health.

#1 Antibacterial characteristics

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.

#2 Skin control

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.

#3 Сardiovascular system

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.

#4 Memory improvement

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

#5 Weight loss

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

#6 Aphrodisiac

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

And what do you think about that? Do you have any interesting facts to share? If so, tell us in the comments below, please!

Great information and believed in this source of super food.

James Sproston, it likely isn’t as good as fresh garlic, but it probably still has healthy properties.

As kids in Europe, we were told to wear a clove of garlic around our neck to keep us safe from polio. I don't know if it worked, but we didn't get polio.

Friend of mine is allergic to all the onion family including garlic - doesn't help her.

Sean Case, So let me get this straight. You don’t believe garlic can benefit you because it doesn’t prevent Alzheimer’s?

Richard G Schwartz

Use the stuff all the time.

Alonso Taladrid
