5 Reasons to Eat More Garlic

September 10, 2015 by Santa Cruz CORE Leave a Comment

Garlic

A member of the onion family, garlic, or Allium sativum has been used by people for more than 7,000 years dating back to Egyptian times and before. The first recorded strike in history took place when Egyptian slaves didn’t get their ration of garlic due to a tardy shipment and refused to work. It is useful for both cooking and medicinal purposes.

    1. Anti-viral anti-fungal and antibacterial

Crushing garlic releases allicin, an antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal compound. This is also what gives garlic it’s pungent smell.

    1. Vitamins and minerals

Garlic contains a large helping of vitamins and minerals including Vitamin B6, Vitamin B1, Vitamin C, Manganese, Selenium, Copper, Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Iron.

    1. Anti cancer
