Garlic is the oldest variety of known medicinal plants or spices. It belongs to the genus Allium and is native to Central Asia. Humans have recognized the effectiveness of this magical herb more than 3000 years ago. In 1858, Sir Louis Pasteur, a pasteurization scientist, proved to have effectively used the antibacterial properties of garlic.
Almost garlic is used in almost all foods for aroma, delicious taste. When eaten raw, it has a powerful and pungent taste to match the real benefits of garlic. Garlic is particularly rich in some sulfur-containing compounds and it is thought that these compounds are responsible for their smell and taste and have a very positive effect on human health.
In research supporting this superfood, the benefits of garlic are second only to the benefits of turmeric. There are more than 5,100 peer-reviewed articles that evaluate garlic's ability to prevent and improve various diseases.
Garlic for Heart Disease
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, followed by cancer. Garlic as a prophylactic can predict and treat many heart and metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, thrombosis, and diabetes.
Garlic for Cancer
According to the National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute, several population studies have shown that increased garlic consumption is associated with reduced risk of certain cancers (gastric cancer, colon cancer, cancer esophagus, breast cancer).
Garlic for High Blood Pressure
One study examined the effects of aged garlic extracts as an adjunct to hypertensive patients who were taking antihypertensive drugs but who have not yet been tested. It is understood that by taking four old garlic extracts (960 mg) a day for three months, the average arterial pressure dropped by 10 points.
Garlic for Colds and Infections
Studies have shown that garlic (or some chemical compounds, such as allicin in garlic) is very effective at killing the numberless microorganisms that cause some of the most common and rare infections, including colds.
Garlic is low in calories and have many benefits. So, diet conscious people also take it in a food without any doubt.
Thanks to the phenolic acids of garlic, garlic acts as a powerful antiseptic of the digestive system and the respiratory system. Its fluidifying effect on the blood, its ability to dissolve small clots would slow the evolution of atherosclerosis. In addition, its active ingredients sulfur dilate the coronary arteries, helping to prevent angina pectoris.
This statement summarizes why I may have not caught cold or flu for 2 years:

Hola como estas? El ajo tiene muchas propiedades medicinales, me gusta usarlo para cocinar, excelente post, gracias por la informacion. cariños y besos.
Nice, i really should be adding garlic to some of the home cooked meals I have been preparing, but the after-aroma which seeps through the pores isn't the most flattering...
CVD is a huge problem, especially here in the US, garlic may definitely help with this, but the real problem is sodium chloride in our diets. The general recommended daily intake is around 1600mg and many people double this number daily... people must begin to realize what they are putting in their bodies and the effects of which they will have in the long-term, as most of the diseases which progress are chronic illnesses.
Nonetheless, awesome article jam-packed full of great info. thanks for sharing
