The function of garlic:

I. Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases:

This kind of scientific clinical reports can be said to be a dime a dozen, and the medical community is more convinced of its clinical function. There are three main mechanisms for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases:?

(1) A group of sulfur-containing compounds in garlic (hereinafter referred to as garlic essence) can inhibit the synthesis of HMG-CoA from cholesterol in the liver, thus lowering blood cholesterol (high blood cholesterol is the most important factor for arteriosclerosis, heart disease and hypertension). ?

(2) Garlic essence can increase the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in endothelial cells and block intracellular calcium channels by inhibiting the deamination of adenonucleic acid in vascular endothelial cells, thus relaxing blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. ?

(3) Garlic essence has a strong antithrombotic activity, and allicin is the protagonist of this effect. Therefore, the antithrombotic effect of allicin has a satisfactory preventive and therapeutic effect on myocardial infarction, arteriosclerosis and venous tumor. ?

Second, fight bacteria and viruses?

In western medicine, antibiotics refer to drugs used to treat microbial infections. The main function of these drugs is to destroy these microorganisms that can cause human diseases. However, no matter how advanced the drug research and development is, the bactericidal effect of antibiotics can only be targeted at one or two specific categories. For example, most bacteria can't kill mold, let alone have any effect on viruses; As for dealing with protozoa, that's another medicine. Only garlic can effectively deal with the threat of bacteria, viruses, molds and protozoa to human body at the same time. ?

Garlic essence has a wide range of bactericidal effects, whether aerobic (tuberculosis) or anaerobic, garlic essence has obvious bactericidal effect. Garlic essence can play a role in some viruses that even western medicine can't solve, such as rhinovirus related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma and sinusitis, herpes virus that causes snake rash, smallpox virus, lip rash and so on. Even more amazing is that allicin has the function of blocking the reproduction and spread of HIV virus that causes AIDS at high dose. ?

Third, natural antioxidants?

The damage of free radicals to human cells makes them equal to various chronic diseases, which is more closely related to the occurrence of cancer. The concentration of free radicals in cancer patients is always much higher than that in normal people, and antioxidants are the most direct antidote to eliminate free radicals. ?

In addition, garlic essence has also been proved to have a protective effect on cancer-causing cell damage caused by aflatoxin (which is easy to occur in moldy and rotten beans and peanut products). The anti-cancer and anti-cell degeneration (mutation) effects of allicin mainly come from its antioxidant effect, which can neutralize and eliminate free radicals produced by peroxide.
