Does giving garlic really have that many benefits?
Absolutely!!! If given regularly, it is also known to keep the fleas away…they don’t like garlic! Garlic is also a natural antibiotic and fungal fighter. When it comes to foods that really work, garlic is as good as it gets. This pungent bulb offers a plethora of health benefits. For starters, studies show that people who consume garlic regularly have lower cholesterol levels. Other research indicates that garlic thins the blood–specifically by preventing platelets from sticking together and clotting–and that may translate into lower blood pressure as well as a diminished risk of heart disease and stroke. What’s less well known is that garlic gets much of its goodness from it’s high selenium content, a trace mineral that has been heralded for it’s antioxidant and cancer-fighting properties. In fact, if you load meals with lots of garlic (in addition to C & E), you shouldn’t need to add a selenium supplement to your diet.
