Garlic
(Allium Sativum) (cont'd)
Garlic is probably the most widely recognized medicinal
herb. Much has been written on the healing effects of garlic and new studies are continually being published
throughout the world. Garlic is one of the most researched plant medicines.
Daily use of garlic in the diet has been shown to have
beneficial effects on the body, especially the blood system and the heart. Scientific data reveals that garlic
reduces glucose metabolism in diabetics, slows the development of arteriosclerosis and lowers the risk of heart
attacks. Without a doubt, garlic provides the body with protection against cardiovascular
disease.
The Nutrition Committee of the American Heart Association
publicly acknowledged garlic's potential in helping to reduce the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular
diseases.
