Garlic’s benefits are not all in its most talked-about active compound, allicin (some are in other parts of the garlic), but the allicin is certainly very potent. However, allicin breaks down easily, which means that cooking reduces its value greatly, meaning that for health purposes, it is best consumed raw. Pickled garlic cloves are great, by the way, and you should try them if you haven’t already.

Garlic’s benefits (aside from being delicious)

Benefits that can be expected include:

  1. Boosts immunity: allicin enhances white blood cell function, helping fight off colds and flu
  2. Supports heart health: lowers blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, and prevents blood clots, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke
  3. Anti-cancer properties: it contains sulfur compounds that may inhibit cancer cell growth, particularly in the digestive system
  4. Improves digestion: stimulates digestive enzymes and promotes gut health, helping with better nutrient absorption and digestion
  5. Enhances brain function: antioxidants in garlic are neuroprotective, reducing cognitive decline
  6. Good for your skin: its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can help improve skin health
  7. Regulates blood sugar levels: helps regulate blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity
  8. Anti-inflammatory effects: contains compounds that reduce inflammation, helping to combat inflammatory diseases such as arthritis
  9. Supports weight loss: stimulates metabolism, suppresses appetite, and helps break down fats, aiding in weight management
  10. May protect against osteoporosis: increases estrogen levels in women, potentially reducing the risk of osteoporosis (no effect on estrogen levels if you don’t have ovaries)

The daily dose that this video recommends is 1–2 cloves of garlic or 3600mg of aged garlic extract as a supplement.
