A study shows that supplements containing garlic extract can lower cholesterol and hypertension, so they can maintain heart health.
In addition, red blood cells can convert the sulfur content in garlic into hydrogen sulfide gas, which functions to dilate blood vessels.
2. Maintaining the Health of the Digestive Tract
Not only good for the heart, garlic is also good for maintaining the health of the digestive tract. Studies show that garlic can be used to reduce H. pylori bacterial infections in the stomach.
3. Prevent Cancer
Garlic is known to contain allicin compounds which are rich in antioxidants and have anticancer properties.
A study shows that consumption of garlic can reduce the risk of stomach cancer and relieve symptoms of various types of cancer, such as breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
However, further research is still needed to ensure the effectiveness of garlic in preventing cancer.
