Only when the garlic is crushed do these produce the familiar garlic aroma and the health giving benefits now being attributed to the clove. The world garlic crop now stands at the equivalent of a clove a day for every man. woman and child on earth but it's not necessary to chew your way through a clove a day in order to reap the benefits. there are alternatives ! garlic comes in many different varieties oil powder and capsules and whichever one you choose the garlic will still have the same beneficial effect. simply ensure that you take sufficient to last the day. many people to be sure they are getting the right amount, prefer to take one a day capsules. they are quick and easy to take and contain the recommended daily allowance. finally, if you are put off by the smell of garlic fear not! odourless garlic is socially acceptable and just as powerful as the real thing... it's just not as pungent !

Simple steps can be taken to reduce the risk of heart attack. one that is known to be effective is to take garlic every day. that way the amount of cholesterol building up in the blood is kept in check. >>>

Garlic >> So how does it work ?

Cholesterol levels are known to be one of the main causes of heart disease. Smoking, stress and a diet too rich in saturated fat all contribute to cholesterol. garlic, if taken regularly, can slow down this build up. Since most of the British population are  thought to have higher than acceptable cholesterol levels the risk of heart disease is greatly increased. by supplementing your diet with garlic you could be saving a life your own. garlic is first thought to have been cultivated in north west china but its popularity soon spread and so did its uses! While  the Chinese were using it as a sedative the Persians decided it was just as handy helping the blood circulate. if uses have been varied so too have the nicknames given to garlic... stinking rose. poor man's treacle and food of love being just a small selection. love it or hate it, garlic certainly made its mark down through the centuries. what unites all the different people who have used garlic over the year is belief scientists are now able to prove... that garlic is good for you. >>>
