Garlic can be known as a natural "medicine" for high sugar and cholesterol - modern science has confirmed its healing properties.
Scientists state that a large part of the useful properties of the spicy vegetable, which acts as a medicine for high sugar and cholesterol, is due to sulfur compounds formed when garlic is crushed or chewed. Perhaps the most famous of these is allicin: this compound is present for some time in fresh garlic after it is cut or crushed. Other compounds of the vegetable that affect health are diallyl disulfide and s-allylcysteine.
"Sulfur compounds from garlic enter the body from the digestive tract and travel throughout the body, showing their strong biological effects," experts said.
They talked about how garlic can act as a cholesterol medicine: garlic supplements have been found to lower total cholesterol, or "bad" LDL cholesterol, by 10-15%.
The beneficial effect of the vegetable on the condition of the blood can also improve the indicators of blood pressure and the condition of the cardiovascular system.
"High doses of garlic improve blood pressure in people with hypertension. In some cases, garlic supplements can be as effective as conventional medicine," the experts said.
