Garlic does more than make our food taste better, it can help in the prevention of several medical conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Garlic clove\u00a0is considered a pure treatment for diabetes, both types:\u00a0Type 1 also\u00a0called insulin-dependent\u00a0diabetes\u00a0that affects young children, and\u00a0Type\u00a02 diabetes, also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes\u00a0that affects older people and will appear at later stages.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a British study conducted in February proved that a garlic clove was able to minimize insulin blood levels when mice ingested it orally. Moreover, it is regarded as a miracle by naturopaths and herbalists. This is mainly due to a compound called\u00a0allicin present in garlic that has natural antibiotic properties, as well as the presence of sulphur,\u00a0which is also the cause for its pungent smell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Below\u00a0are several more medical benefits of garlic:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fresh or cooked garlic\u00a0helps in\u00a0lowering blood pressure and cardiovascular problems.\u00a0It increases the levels of high-density lipoproteins and reduces harmful cholesterol in the blood which protect our arteries and heart.<\/p>\n<p>Garlic\u00a0stimulates the body\u2019s immune system\u00a0and helps in the fight against various immune or auto-immune diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Garlic offers some benefits during pregnancy as well. \u00a0According to a study conducted by doctors in a London hospital, garlic supplementation\u00a0promoted the weight-gain for babies\u00a0that were at risk of low birth weight.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83131\" src=\"http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Garlic-Oil.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Garlic-Oil.jpg 700w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Garlic-Oil-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Garlic-Oil-696x783.jpg 696w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Garlic-Oil-373x420.jpg 373w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Garlic helps improve iron metabolism, as the sulfides in garlic increase the production of a protein called\u00a0ferroportin. This protein present in the cell membrane helps form a passageway that allows stored iron to leave those cells and be used whenever it is needed.<\/p>\n<p>But remember, although garlic is potentially beneficial, some people cannot tolerate its strong smell. You can then switch to\u00a0garlic food supplements\u00a0that offer the same benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Also, some people have colon problems, reflux, ulcer or are allergic to garlic. So always consult your doctor regarding any health or medical condition.<\/p>\n<p>My personal advice in cooking with garlic is to add it at the end of cooking, so it does not lose too many of its beneficial properties, including its sulphur compounds that are super beneficial. Also, if you cannot tolerate raw garlic, you can add chopped garlic to your food while cooking it to retain a maximum amount of flavor and good nutrition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70891\" src=\"http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Eat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Eat.jpg 400w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Eat-300x124.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>To subscribe to my diet programs, don\u2019t forget to log in to:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eatlikemira.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.eatlikemira.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-482\" src=\"http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Ask1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Ask1.jpg 700w, http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Ask1-300x88.jpg 300w, http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Ask1-696x206.jpg 696w\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"206\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ask Mira: Eating Right to Live Happy &amp; Healthy Everyone has heard about the benefits of garlic.
