Should I Bother With Garlic?

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

According to a column in MuscleMag International, researchers have discovered that eating garlic appears to boost our natural supply of hydrogen sulfide, which acts as an antioxidant and transmits cellular signals that relax blood vessels and increase blood flow. Boosting hydrogen sulfide production may help to protect against various cancers, including breast, prostate and colon cancer. Higher concentrations of hydrogen sulfide may also protect your heart.

The downside of a garlic-rich diet, continues to report MuscleMag, is that to take advantage of all of its benefits, you’d have to consume 8-12 cloves every day. You could simply add garlic to every meal you eat throughout the day, but you’d have to deal with the bad breath that comes with eating it. Maximize garlic’s health benefits when cooking with it by crushing the cloves at room temperature and letting them sit for about 15 minutes to allow the trigger of an enzyme reaction that boosts garlic’s healthy compounds.

Hey, even though your primary objective may be muscle building or gaining weight naturally, you must have healthy heart that will pump nutrient-rich blood to the working muscles.
