What are it’s real benefits to you? Is garlic a must in your anti-cancer diet and if so how much garlic should you consume each and every day?
Garlic is a great benefit in a good healthy diet. It is an excellent anti-oxidant for the body to fight all types of diseases.
Garlic’s main and most important acts are as an:
Antioxidant / Anti-septic / Antibacterial / Antiviral
These beneficial health benefits of garlicare are derived from its compounds:
Vitamin C / Vitamin B6 / Sulphur / Selenium / Manganese Allicin
Therefore with all these benefits going through your system I believe Garlic should be a ‘Must have’ In Your Anti-Cancer Diet? Elements found in garlic makes it a very good anti-oxidant and therefore a great fighting agent for cancer and many other illnesses.
It is a great purifier to the blood system, especially when administered along with sufficient water intake per person per day.
These antioxidant properties of garlic can help to protect your body from free radical damage caused by toxins. We all know there are plenty of them in our world today so it is our responsibility to our own being to help fight the damage caused by these. Garlic also reduces the formation of carcinogenic compounds, which are particularly good at protecting against several cancers.
How much garlic is enough in your anti-cancer diet?
Having one or two raw cloves of garlic in your anti-cancer diet per day will help to protect you from cancer. Depending on how you consume garlic supplements, eg tablet or powder or raw form, determines which one suits you best. It is recommended to take between 500mg and 900mg supplements per day to fight cancer.
Garlic powder supplements may seem a much stronger way of consumption, rather than capsules. Go to your health food outlet and talk to them on which way best suits you for consumption.
PLEASE BE AWARE THOUGH: Garlic supplements are generally safe to take, but if you are about to undergo surgery notify your physician regarding your doseage of garlic supplements. The reason for this is because garlic has anticlotting properties, which may interfere with anticoagulant drugs.
TAKING GARLIC IS PURELY YOUR CHOICE BUT DO THE HOMEWORK:
Trials have proven that garlic is excellent for protection against cancer, especially oesophageal cancer, stomach cancer and colon cancer. If you are in doubt or can’t stomach garlic there are other anti-oxidants available as well. Do the homework once again as I did - this is how you learn how to fight these dreaded illnesses we sometimes encounter.
