Garlic Healthy Food
For thousands of years the Chinese people have known of the benefit of garlic to their health. So in China garlic apart from being used to flavor food is also traditionally used in teas and folk remedies.
The reason for using garlic is that it is one of nature’s strongest immune system boosters as well as being a powerful antibiotic and helps the digestive system and increase a person’s libido.
Garlic is jut plain good for you too! it is loaded with vitamins and minerals including Vitamin A, B and C, selenium, potassium, calcium, zinc and magnesium. But in order to reap the benefits, you must prepare it in a certain way. Researcher say it is the allicin that is released when garlic is crushed. If you are trying to serve yourself a garlic herbal remedy by adding garlic to your foods then make sure you crush it a bit ahead of time and don't add until the final 5 minutes of cooking. This will give the allicin enough time to develop and will insure you don't cook all the garlic health out of it.
Nutritional research into supplements suggests that eating a clove of garlic a day has health benefits. If you take nutritional supplements containing Vitamin C, nutritional supplements containing Vitamin E, and nutritional supplements containing selenium, you may be surprised to learn that garlic naturally has all these antioxidants.

Most Chinese include garlic in their everyday dishes because it improves body circulation. Garlic can be eaten raw as a form of therapy. Raw garlic is more effective than cooked garlic. Cooked garlic will not have as much benefit as raw and whole garlic cloves have little benefit at all. Another way to incorporate garlic into your meals without cooking is to make a garlic bread where you crush the gloves into a paste and toast bread - butter the toasted bread and spread the garlic on it - Yum!
