Amateur Natural Food Research Association, Wang Meijun (doctor of traditional Chinese medicine) Soaked garlic in vinegar is not only a common condiment, but also has good medicinal and health care functions, which can help digestion, strengthen stomach and sterilize. According to recent studies, garlic also has a good effect on cancer prevention, antioxidation, cardiovascular disease prevention and anti-aging.

The history of using garlic to treat diseases is very long, not only in China, but also in Egypt, Greece, Rome and India. In ancient China, garlic was not only used to treat injuries and dysentery caused by poisonous insects, but also used vinegar to treat parasitic diseases.

Modern medicine believes that garlic can improve human immunity, lower blood pressure, help stabilize blood sugar, and help treat arteriosclerosis, arthritis, asthma, cancer, blood circulation problems, digestive problems and heart and liver diseases. Specifically, garlic has the following health benefits: (1) Prevention and treatment of tumor and cancer. There is a sulfur-containing compound in garlic, which can promote the intestinal tract to produce a substance, namely "allicin". This substance can enhance human immunity, prevent lipid peroxidation and resist mutation, thus eliminating the risk of intestinal tumors caused by residual substances in the intestine. Moreover, germanium and selenium in garlic can inhibit the growth of tumor cells and cancer cells.

Moreover, germanium and selenium in garlic can inhibit the growth of tumor cells and cancer cells. (2) Anti-fatigue. Garlic contains allicin. Studies have found that if allicin is combined with vitamin B 1, it will effectively eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength. (3) Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Garlic can prevent fat deposition in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, promote fat metabolism, increase fibrinolytic activity and lower cholesterol. Moreover, garlic can inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce plasma concentration, increase the dilation of arterioles, promote vasodilation and regulate blood pressure, thus inhibiting thrombosis and preventing arteriosclerosis. (4) sterilization. Garlic contains allicin and capsaicin propylene sulfide, which has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and can inhibit and kill bacilli, fungi, viruses and various cocci. Propylene sulfide also has a good killing effect on pathogenic bacteria and parasites, which can prevent colds and relieve cold symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat and stuffy nose. (5) Stabilize blood sugar. Raw garlic can promote insulin secretion and increase the utilization of glucose by tissues and cells, so it can lower blood sugar, maintain blood sugar stability and prevent diabetes. (6) protect the stomach. Garlic can effectively inhibit and kill bacteria and viruses that can cause gastrointestinal diseases, remove toxic substances from the stomach, promote appetite and accelerate digestion. Eating a small amount of garlic can promote gastric peristalsis and gastric acid secretion. (7) protect the liver. Garlic contains trace element selenium, which can excrete toxins by participating in aerobic metabolism of blood, reduce the detoxification burden of the liver, and then protect the liver. ◇ Material garlic and half a catty of rice vinegar ◇ Practice 1.
