Description
There is an old adage, An apple a day keeps the doctor away But in light of modern research findings, that might be better revised to, A clove a day keeps the doctor away The clove, of course is from the lowly garlic bulb, and a daily dose may well keep your visits to the doctor at a minimum. With a medical history spanning thousands of years, garlics reputation is well known, so the question is no longer whether to take Garlic, but how to take garlic.In the past, those desiring the health benefits of garlic merely cracked a clove from a bulb and ate it raw, giving notice to the world that you were healthy, if not socially desirable. These days you can get your garlic in a tablet or capsule with the promise of little or no garlic after odor. While many of the available supplements are very similar to garlic, retaining the valuable sulfur compounds and the allicin, many are not. Steam distilled oils can lose much of their efficacy, and aged garlic extracts are allicin-free.
