Garlic contains more than 400 kinds of chemicals, and eating garlic regularly has many benefits to health. Many studies have found that garlic can effectively prevent and treat many diseases. According to a recent report in a Canadian newspaper, scientists said that because garlic helps to lower blood sugar, sugar lovers can eat some garlic properly while taking conventional insulin drugs and choosing a special diet. The researchers found that allicin, propyl disulfide and S- allyl -L- cysteine sulfoxide in garlic can improve the blood insulin level by preventing the liver from interfering with insulin. Researchers say that diabetics can eat garlic properly because they can eat it raw and cooked. Eating garlic or supplementing garlic extract can not only help to regulate blood sugar, but also prevent or alleviate some diabetic complications. Complications of diabetes include hypertension, heart disease and stroke, coronary atherosclerosis, nephropathy and renal failure (requiring dialysis or kidney replacement), nervous system injury, amputation and blindness. Scientists say that in general, the benefits of garlic to diabetic patients can be summarized as the following eight items: 1, lowering blood sugar level. 2. Treat or prevent arteriosclerosis. 3. Fight inflammation. 4. Enhance immunity. 5. Reduce bad cholesterol. 6. Adjust blood pressure. 7. Prevention and treatment of heart disease. 8. Promote blood circulation. According to the data of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), there will be more than 380 million diabetic patients in the world by 2025. According to the American Diabetes Association, there are more than 25.8 million diabetics and about 79 million prediabetes in the United States alone. Therefore, controlling diabetes has become a public health problem. (Editor: Fan Xuejiao)
