Garlic oil may be used topically (applied to the\u00a0skin).\u2022 Garlic grows in many parts of the world and is a popular ingredient in cooking due to its strong smell and delicious taste. However, throughout ancient history, the main use of garlic was for its health and medicinal properties\n<div>Garlic Is Highly Nutritious But Has Very Few Calories<\/div>\n<p>Calorie for calorie, garlic is incredibly nutritious.<\/p>\n<p>One clove (3 grams) of raw garlic contains :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Manganese:<\/strong>\u00a02% of the Daily Value (DV)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamin B6:\u00a0<\/strong>2% of the DV<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamin C:<\/strong>\u00a01% of the DV<\/li>\n<li><strong>Selenium:<\/strong>\u00a01% of the DV<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fiber:<\/strong>\u00a00.6 grams<\/li>\n<li>Decent amounts of calcium, copper, potassium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin B1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This comes with 4.5 calories, 0.2 grams of protein and 1 gram of carbs.<\/p>\n<p>Garlic also contains trace amounts of various other nutrients. In fact, it contains a little bit of almost everything you need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Here are 7 Benefits of Garlic You May Not Have Known:\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>1. The Blood Purifier<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Tired of covering up those zits with concealer every morning? It&#8217;s time to tackle the root cause of acne by purifying your blood from inside to get healthy skin on the outside. Take two cloves of raw garlic with some warm water everyday, early in the morning and consume a lot of water the entire day. If you&#8217;re looking to shed some pounds, squeeze the juice of half a\u00a0lemon\u00a0in a glass of luke warm water and have it with 2 cloves of garlic in the mornings. Garlic will help to cleanse your system and flush out toxins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>2. Cold and Flu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Garlic is going to provide you relief from that stubborn\u00a0cold and flu\u00a0(yes, they absolutely love you and never want to leave). Taking 2-3 cloves of raw or cooked garlic a day or sipping some garlic tea (with a touch of honey or ginger to lift up the taste) is not only going to relieve a stuffed nose and cure the cold but also build your immunity against these frequent visitors over time. According to Dr. Shikha Sharma, Delhi-based Health and Wellness Expert, and founder of Nutrihealth says,&#8221; One of the earliest uses of garlic was by meat-eaters because it was believed that meat could cause infection which garlic could fight off from the body. More commonly used by labourers who are exposed to\u00a0infections\u00a0and disease-friendly environments till recently, its plethora of health benefits has made white-collar workers also take to it.&#8221; She added, &#8220;Garlic can be added to hot stews, broths and soups to fight sinusitis, cold and flu. And garlic is best had in its raw state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>3. Prevention of Heart Disease<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Consuming garlic on a daily basis (in food or raw) helps to\u00a0lower cholesterol\u00a0levels because of the anti-oxidant properties of Allicin. It is also immensely beneficial to regulate blood pressure and blood sugar levels.\u00a0It is essential to remember that the sulphur-containing compound Allicin tends to lose its medicinal properties when garlic is cooked whole. It is imperative to consume garlic raw or semi-cooked to derive any of its benefits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>4. Anti-bacterial and Anti-parasitic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Garlic is one of the best kept medicinal treasures of the past era &#8211; it has been used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections for the last 7,000 years. Studies suggest diluted garlic extract helps children with tapeworm infections. A garlic-based mouthwash may not sound like fresh, minty breath but a very small quantity of its extracts is sufficient to ward off cavity-causing bacteria.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>5. Cancer Prevention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Several studies have indicated an association between daily consumption of garlic and prevention of stomach and\u00a0colorectal cancers. It is said to strengthen the immunity of the body against cancer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>6. For Skin and Hair<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The invigorating properties of garlic protect the skin from the effect of free radicals and slow down the depletion of collagen which leads to loss of elasticity in\u00a0aging skin. Applied topically, garlic does wonders to skin infected with fungal infections and\u00a0 provides relief from skin ailments like eczema. It is also an effective remedy for fungal infections like athlete&#8217;s foot and ringworms. All of us know about the wonders of onion for\u00a0hair\u00a0but its brother, garlic is no less of a hero for your thinning mane. Well, its surprise time. Rubbing crushed garlic extract on your scalp or massaging with garlic-infused oil is known to prevent and even reverse\u00a0hair loss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>7. Splinters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Many of garlic&#8217;s astounding uses were forgotten in the folds of time but users (and believers) still vouch for the lesser-known benefits. One of them is against stubborn splinters. Place a piece of cut garlic over the splinter cut and cover with a bandage- and voila! Bye-bye splinter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Caution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1.\u00a0Asthma\u00a0patients should not consume garlic as it may have side-effects.<br \/>\n2. Garlic should be avoided before surgeries or medical operations.<br \/>\n3. Do not consume more than 2-3 garlic cloves in a day without consulting a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>By &#8211; https:\/\/food.ndtv.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garlic is the edible bulb from a plant in the lily family.
