Function of garlic: 1, Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory Garlic is a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic of plants. Garlic contains about 2% allicin, and its bactericidal ability is110 of that of penicillin. It has effects on many pathogenic bacteria such as staphylococcus, meningitis, pneumonia, streptococcus, diphtheria, dysentery, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, tuberculosis and Vibrio cholerae. It can also kill more pathogenic fungi and hookworms, pinworms and trichomonads. Eating garlic raw is an effective way to prevent influenza and intestinal infections. However, it should be noted that allicin is easily destroyed at high temperature and loses its bactericidal effect. 2. Sulfur-containing compounds in anti-cancer garlic mainly act on the "start-up stage" of tumorigenesis, and prevent normal cells from transforming into cancer cells by enhancing detoxification function, interfering with the activation of carcinogens, preventing the formation of cancer, enhancing immune function, blocking the formation of lipid peroxidation and resisting mutation. The trace element selenium contained in garlic can kill cancer cells and reduce the incidence of cancer. 3. Anti-platelet aggregation Garlic essential oil can inhibit platelet aggregation. Its mechanism is to change the physical and chemical properties of platelet membrane, thus affecting the function of platelet collection and release, inhibiting the fibrous protein receptor on platelet membrane, inhibiting the combination of platelet and fibrinogen, affecting the sulfur group on platelet membrane and changing platelet function. 4. Reducing blood fat According to epidemiological investigation, the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases in areas where each person eats 20 grams of garlic per day is significantly lower than that in areas where there is no habit of eating raw garlic. The researchers tested 50 people in Laoshan County and asked them to eat 50 grams of raw garlic every day. After 6 days, the contents of serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and l3 lipoprotein were significantly lower than before the experiment. Regular consumption of raw garlic also has antihypertensive effect. 5.
