What are the other benefits of garlic?
As Indians, we use garlic in almost all our dishes, because of its strong flavour and delicious taste. However, in Ayurveda, it garlic is regarded as a medicine, due to the presence of allicin, an unstable compound, which is briefly present in fresh garlic after it’s been cut or crushed. What’s more, it also contains other compounds like diallyl disulfide and s-allyl cysteine. The sulfur compounds present in garlic also have potent biological effects.

1. Reduces the number of colds and increases immunity:
   In fact, one large, 12-week study found that a daily garlic supplement reduced the number of colds by 63 percent, as compared to a placebo. Another study also validated that a high dose of aged garlic extract reduced the number of days sick with cold or flu by 61 percent.
2. Helps improve cardiovascular health:
   We already know about the rising incidence of heart attacks and strokes. This is mainly due to uncontrolled blood pressure or hypertension. Several studies show that garlic supplements have a significant impact on blood pressure levels, especially in those who have high blood pressure.
3. Helps lower cholesterol:
   Did you know? Garlic can help lower cholesterol levels, especially in those who suffer from high cholesterol. As of now, research studies are not conclusive, but they show that garlic appears to have an impact on LDL, but nothing on HDL or even triglyceride levels.
4. Helps reduce aging:
   Most of us are aware that oxidative damage from free radicals is what causes aging. With the help of garlic, the body’s protective mechanisms come into play against oxidative damage.
5. It improves the functioning of the respiratory system
   If you have a cold, cough, sinus infection, fever, congestion, or sore throat—garlic anti-inflammatory properties can come to your aid. Because of this reason, garlic is also considered to be beneficial for people with asthma.
