Garlic is a superfood packed with numerous health benefits.
Some studies revealed that garlic and its components have cancer-fighting properties. They also contain compounds that can lower the risk of heart disease and dementia.
Moreover, garlic is known to have an anti-inflammatory effect that can help decrease symptoms of arthritis. Few kinds of research found that garlic may enhance the function of certain immune system cells to help strengthen the overall immune system.
