Garlic is one of the oldest known plants used in medicine. It’s benefits are many and varied, meaning that Garlic should be a part of everyone’s diet.

Documents in Sanskrit show the use of Garlic in India, China, and other parts of the far East for 5000 years. Certainly medicine in these parts was very advanced compared to our medicine in the West in those times.

Garlic’s antibiotic properties were widely accepted in England at the time of the First World War and it was used successfully for ailment troops on the battlefields. In fact, the UK Government paid people to grow garlic.

What makes garlic so beneficial? A sulphur-containing compound called allicin which is released when garlic is crushed.

What are the main benefits of Garlic?

Antiseptic: Garlic boosts the immune system and heads off infections – just as it did on the battlefields. Therefore, it can be surmised that it will help prevent infections too.

Cholesterol: There are some early studies which indicate that Garlic has a beneficial effect on blood cholesterol.

Heart Disease: Studies have shown that Garlic has reduced blood pressure by up to 5%, lowering risk of stroke and heart disease.

Garlic – A Great Daily Supplement

All in all you SHOULD be taking garlic daily.

It does not have to be taken in food – there are now excellent low-odor Garlic Pills and Capsules which give you the full benefits of Garlic without the odor – or the hassle of putting it regularly in the cooking. Indeed, if you are in good health, preserve that by eating garlic in food – AND taking a daily supplement.

The only slight concern with overdoing Garlic is if you are on blood thinning drugs – in which case, keep your Garlic intake at a modest level – just eat it in food.

Otherwise get hold of some low odor Garlic Pills or Capsules and take some daily – in addition to eating wonderful Garlic in your food.

And see your health benefit!

A British nutritional therapist and former chef, Gurapeet Bains, has spent 2 years perfecting a curry. which is thought to be the most rich in antioxidants meal possible.

Part of the high antioxidant score is due to the spices which are naturally found in curry. About a quarter of all high antioxidant foods are spices.

Mr Bains’ meal scores 25,000 on the ORAC antioxidant scale. A typical salad measures only 5,000.

The secret of the recipe is that it is stuffed with foods such as blueberries and goji berries – as well as the usual complement of spices. As well as being antioxidant, the meal also contains powerful antivirals and antibacterials – such as garlic and onions.

The recipe for the curry looks interesting. I will be giving it a go. I like curry – and 25,000 on the ORAC scale is very impressive.

To deal with Swine Flu it is best to make sure the immune system is working strongly.

The fundamental approach to strengthening the immune system must be to keep improving your lifestyle – bit by bit, and over time. For example:

1. Improve your diet, eg
   1. Eat more vegetables
   2. Eat more berries (and less high-sugar fruit)
   3. Cut down on starchy food – bread, rice, pasta, potatoes
   4. Eat lean protein and omega-3 rich protein – skinless chicken and turkey breast, oily fish – sardines, mackerel, trout
   5. Do all the well-known things: cut down on sugar, manufactured food, fatty and cured meats, fast food, breakfast cereals.
2. Improve your exercise regime
   1. Get ‘cardio’ exercise 3-4 times a week – a 30-minute swift walk does this very well – and without damaging the joints.
   2. Carry out muscle resistance exercises 2-3 times a week – the gym is the usual place, but you can do them at home with special ‘rubber bands’ or weights.
3. Don’t overwork, and so exhaust yourself – you’ll know if you are doing this.
4. There’s a good post on the SHS (Specialist Herbal Supplies) blog about herbs for the immune system. Basically there are three herbal options they recommend for the immune system:

   1. The 90-day Immune Programme with Capsules or with Drops
   2. Echinacea Capsules or Drops, or
   3. Power Garlic Capsules

AHZ Aticles:
Immune System Boost
Echinacea – great Immune System herb
Garlic benefits for Immune System
Pau d’Arco – South American boost for the Immune System
