If you are a garlic lover, then prepare to rekindle those feelings. I am about to reveal why garlic should be used in everyday health.

I am sure you know or at least have heard, garlic is good for you. But what makes it so healthy?, and what is the best way to consume it? When you learn the effect garlic can have on your health, you'll be lown away.

So here it is, first some science behind it . Garlic is a substance that is metabolised, which basically means it is absorbed by the stomache lining. This is why the "smell" of garlic can sometimes follow you all day. It is also why some peopel have a warming, or even upset feeling in their bellies after eating it. Garlic contains germanium and selenium, which are sulfur-containing antioxidants that boost the immune system. Thats right, BOOST the immune system! Thats what we need this time of year!

Okay lets jump into the meaty stuff. What can garlic do for you? Glad you asked. Garlic for the Heart and Cholesterol? Yup, you heard right. According to Dr. James Balch in his article Garlic For your Health he states "

Garlic's value for your heart is well known. First, it contains properties for fighting "bad" cholesterol. We know now that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is not dangerous, but low-density lipoprotein (LDL) certainly is, because it can be oxidized by dangerous free radicals. Oxidized LDL is an enemy of the white blood cells, which become enlarged as "foam cells," and ultimately are deposited on the arterial walls in the form of plaque. The lumen, the open space of the artery, becomes more and more narrow until it is completely clogged.
