If you are worried that you will have to chew six raw cloves of garlic every day, we must assure you – that is not true. Raw garlic tends to cause heartburn, stomach irritation and bad breath. If you want to achieve the amazing effect, you can use roasted garlic, which will not have such a strong smell or taste. But why do that?
Health benefits of garlic
Garlic is considered one of the healthiest foods. It is used to treat and prevent various diseases. In many superfood comparisons it is at the forefront of the list. It is great for preventing the common cold, but also for people who suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases. And we face the fact that Czechs are prone to these illnesses. These effects apply to raw garlic, as well as roasted garlic.
The power of roasted garlic
Compared to raw garlic, it is clear that roasted garlic will have somewhat fewer nutrients, and therefore will affect human health. But it has been the main subject of many scientists who focused on the health effects of roasted garlic. Several conclusions emerged from their research. One of these conclusions is that we need to eat only 6 roasted cloves of garlic per day to obtain the following health benefits.
The real health benefits of roasted garlic
Roasted garlic provides some health benefits after eating – up to 24 hours after eating. In the first hour, the garlic passes through the stomach and becomes a nutrient in your body. After two to four hours the garlic begins to fight free radicals in your body – and to fight various diseases, including cancer cells. After 4 to 6 hours your metabolism speeds up due to the restoration of excessive bodily fluid, burning fat deposits. After 6-8 hours the garlic begins to destroy harmful bacteria in your body. Subsequently (8 to 10 hours after consumption) it begins to protect cells from oxidation. After 10-24 hours after consumption the body’s cleansing process begins.
How exactly does it manifest in our body?
The above activities manifest in your body in several ways. One of the most important is the regulation of bad cholesterol. In addition to that, when we add the abilities of roasted garlic to clean the arteries and improve blood pressure levels, it becomes apparent that roasted garlic protects the human body from the onset of cardiovascular diseases.
Another advantage is, of course, increased immunity – that is the advantage garlic is known for. Consumption of garlic also strengthens the bones. Last but not least, we must mention an increase in the amount of energy, which also increases endurance and improves physical performance.
