Combats the Common Cold I'm sure you've all been there, suffering from a blocked nose and having to bear the brunt of the horrible common cold. Well, garlic has been proven to relieve the symptoms of a cold. One study showed a sample of people who took garlic every day only suffered an average of two days with the sickness, rather than the normal five days. Another study found that if people take garlic supplements every single day, then it can reduce the reported cases of the common cold by 63%. What more proof could you need? 2. Helps Prevent Alzheimer's Today's society has an aging population, and horrible conditions such as Alzheimer's and dementia are on the rise with there being an all-time high of reported cases. Alzheimer's is caused by oxidative stress causing damage to specific brain cells. Garlic, however, has antioxidant properties that allow it to protect the body and help it to fight off oxidative damage. Therefore, it helps to stop the cells from being damaged and therefore prevents Alzheimer's disease. Amazing, right? 3. Improves Athletic Performance Most of you are probably aware of all the scandals involving athletes taking different types of substances as an attempt to be faster or perform better in competitions and other athletic performances. Well, garlic was one of the earliest substances that were used for this, although it was in no way frowned upon or illegal. It increases an individual's working capacity, and one study showed that garlic gave a sample of people a 12% reduction in peak heart rate whilst exercising, which means they can keep working at a higher intensity for a longer period. The main way garlic is thought to work in this scenario is that it helps to reduce exercise-induced fatigue, meaning that athletes can keep going for longer. 4. Heals Splinters Splinters can be so annoying. I'm sure we've all been there when we pick something up and get that rude sharp realization that we have just got a splinter. Well, a very simple, quick, and easy remedy for this is to apply some garlic directly to the splinter. There is, however, a very specific way you need to do this. You need to cut garlic clove and tape it to your splinter, then sleep with it like that overnight. It might sound slightly bizarre, but trust me, it works. 5. Improves Bone Health Another great, although maybe slightly random, health benefit that garlic can bring us is that it can improve our bone health. It does this by increasing the levels of estrogen in our body and so, in turn, helps to minimize bone loss and promote bone growth and strength. It is especially good for helping people with osteoarthritis deal with their condition. This increase in estrogen that garlic brings means that it is also great for anyone, women in particular, who may be slightly deficient in the hormone. 6. Lowers Cholesterol Levels A great way in which garlic can benefit our health is that it lowers your cholesterol levels. Studies have shown that people who take garlic supplements had their level of low-density lipoprotein reduced by up to 15%. This is an extremely positive thing, as cholesterol can build up around our heart and arteries and increase the risk of us getting heart disease. 7. Prevents Cancer The cancer is such a cruel condition that thousands suffer with. There is still so much research that needs to be done to try and find a cure or better treatment for the disease. One little way, however, that you can help to lower your risk of getting cancer is to have garlic. You might be shocked to discover this, but garlic really can help to prevent cancer. It works by slowing down the growth of tumor cells and helping to manage cell division and stop it from getting out of control. It is especially good for preventing cancers such as stomach and prostate cancer. Do you need many more reasons to have a bit of garlic every day? 8. Improves Our Skin and Hair I'm sure many of us wish we could find the perfect way to beat the effects of aging, especially when it comes to how it impacts our skin and hair. As we get older, collagen in our skin breaks down and causes our skin to lose elasticity and we gain wrinkles. Our hair can also start to thin and may even begin to fall out. Well, garlic can help with both of these things. Garlic can help to protect and maintain the collagen in your skin to prevent it from breaking down. It is also antifungal and antibacterial, so it can also help to protect our skin against nasty fungal infections and eczema. Now for hair. If you massage garlic into your scalp then it has been proven to help thicken your hair and prevent hair loss. Who doesn't want longer-flowing locks? 9. Protects Our Heart Having some garlic daily can be extremely beneficial to our hearts. It helps to lower people's risk of contracting very serious cardiovascular diseases as it helps to regulate and lower our blood pressure and blood sugar level. You do, however, need to make sure you are having fairly high doses of garlic every day for it to have this effect. 10. Increases Your Life Expectancy Due to the amazing benefits mentioned in this video that garlic has on our health, especially the positive effect it has on our blood pressure, garlic can make us live longer and have a longer life expectancy. Furthermore, garlic has great anti-infectious properties that allow it to fight off certain diseases and illnesses that, especially when contracted by someone slightly older, can be deadly or extremely harmful to an individual.
