Science has confirmed the therapeutic effect of garlic for colds and flu, diseases of the heart and blood vessels. But, apparently, garlic may be useful in a host of other most dreaded diseases. "The value of garlic in cancer and cardiovascular diseases" - so "modestly" named representative international symposium last couple of years ago at Georgetown University in the US. There's absolutely seriously discussed the beneficial effects of garlic in many types of cancer (see. Figure).
Davi it!
- It seems that garlic does have anti-cancer effects, - says Konstantin Spahija, gastroenterologist and PhD. - It is best studied its protective effect against colon cancer.
According to research scientists from the University of North Carolina, garlic lovers have this type of cancer has developed almost 70% less. Proved useful and raw garlic, and the last heat treatment. Although crude still better. But to enhance the healing properties of garlic should be prepared.
Clove before ingestion necessary to grind or crush and leave "breathe" for 10-15 minutes. Under the action of enzymes, activated oxygen, synthesis begins superactive substances.
The same procedure is recommended and before heat treatment. What should be the daily dose of garlic? German scientists, seriously dealing with this problem, it is recommended not less than 4 grams (or two teeth). It is quite possible to distribute to different dishes in small portions to minimize the major side effect of garlic - an unpleasant odor.
Well, if you are being treated for a cold, I suggest you increase the dose to 1, 5-2 times. Know exhaling garlic flavor, you are helping not only themselves but also others. Risk of infection they will be less. Even if you absolutely refuse to eat garlic, put in your room saucer with chopped and crushed cloves. It should be changed 3-4 times a day.
Food or pill?
Whether or not to take garlic in the form of biologically active additives (BAA)?
- There is no single answer to this question is no, - Konstantin continues spas. - I recommend to patients just garlic. Indeed, in some supplements may be many active substances, in others - enough to swear.
And the results of clinical trials of various additives, passing in the West, often contradictory. The most active are considered dietary supplements out there with so-called seasoned garlic extract.
Like wine, it is kept under special conditions up to 20 months - during which time accumulate persistent active substances. These drugs have no smell of garlic. Unfortunately, I was in Russia, such drugs are not met.
Garlic necessary to use all the cores, whether they take the medication or not he blends with drugs to help reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.
It is also worth to do with diabetes, especially type 2, and all who face this disease. Garlic lowers blood sugar and prevents the formation of the so-called end products of glycolysis (CNG).
With the high sugar they produced in excess, damage blood vessels and, most importantly, contribute to more rapid aging of the organism. Perhaps based on this and rejuvenating effect of garlic, which is now also being actively discussed by scientists.
Science methods to get rid of garlic smell is not yet known. But the people have such techniques. We ask our readers to share their secrets. We publish them, and it made a useful garlic more affordable.
