Most people know that garlic is good for them, and many of us have been told to start eating plenty of garlic when we feel like we are getting a cold. But did you know that eating garlic can keep ticks away?
According to the Journal of The American Medical Association, the chance of getting a sting from a tick is very small when eating a decent amount of garlic.
And now there is evidence that it takes a roasted garlic less than 24 hours to work miracles and wonders for the body.
For thousands of years, garlic is used as a medicinal herb, and the ingredient that gives garlic its special power (and its strong odor) is called Allicin.
Studies have shown that flu and cold symptoms in people who eat garlic have reduced by 70%.
Eating garlic helps lower blood pressure, and is rich in antioxidants that reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
