Winter is here and I know lot of us dread these winters specially those that live in very cold places.  I am currently in Chicago, and those who are aware of the weather in Chicago, will know how bad Chicago weather is, during winters.  It may sometimes reach to -40 degrees Celsius at times.  Well, we cannot fight nature but we can adapt to it.  Winter season brings with it lots of ailments which gets aggravated because you tend to keep your doors and windows closed without any ventilation or sunlight.  The same nature that creates these issues for us, has also given us wonderful ways to tackle these medical issues.  One such gift that nature has given us is Garlic.  Garlic has tremendous benefits when used in everyday life.  Consumption of Garlic helps in strengthening our immune system.  It is very beneficial during flu and cold season, which fights off cold.  While garlic smell may not be something we can tolerate, it does have these great benefits

  • Garlic juice helps in treating the accumulation of mucus in the sinus cavities,bronchial tubes and lungs.
  • Garlic is a gastric stimulant and helps in digestion.
  • Garlic has an antibacterial benefit because of its high sulphur content.
  • Garlic helps lower blood pressure and fights off bad cholesterol.
  • Garlic may help regulate blood sugar levels,which in turn increase the release of insulin in diabetics.
  • Garlic improves cardiovascular health.
  • Garlic is a natural analgesic which helps in toothaches and acts as a pain reliever to ease an aching tooth.
