Eat your Garlic! It has many benefits:
- lowers blood pressure
- regulates cholesterol
- boosts protective immunity and
- suppresses inflammation
Raw garlic retains the highest levels of the beneficial component, called allicin and alters gene expression increasing anti-cancer immunity within hours. Roasting retains the next most allicin with boiling, simmering and stir-frying each leading to substantial decreases in this magic constituent.
