Can Help Detoxify Heavy Metals in the Body

shown to protect against organ damage from heavy metal toxicity.
A four week study in employees of a car battery plant
(excessive exposure to lead) found that garlic reduced lead levels in the blood
by 19%. It also reduced many clinical signs of toxicity, including headaches
and blood pressure.
Three doses of garlic each day even outperformed the drug
D-penicillamine in symptom reduction.Garlic was shown to significantly reduce
lead toxicity and related symptoms in one study.
-Garlic Is Easy to Include
In Your Diet and Tastes Absolutely Delicious
The last one is not a health benefit, but still
important. It is the fact that it is very easy
(and delicious) to include garlic in your current diet.
It complements most savory dishes, particularly soups and
sauces. The strong taste of garlic can also add a punch to otherwise bland
recipes.
Garlic comes in several forms, from whole cloves and smooth
pastes to powders and supplements like garlic extract and garlic oil.
The minimum effective dose for therapeutic effects is one
clove eaten with meals, two or three times a day.
However, keep in mind that there
are some downsides to garlic, such as bad breath. There are also some people
who are allergic to it.
