In addition, garlic also contains dietary fiber, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, etc. Potassium is rich, which is beneficial to patients with hypertension. It contains antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C and selenium, which is a good antioxidant.
Studies have shown that if we eat raw garlic about 20 times a day, we can prevent cardiovascular diseases, and the probability of cardiovascular diseases is obviously lower than that of those who don't eat garlic, which may be related to the role of organic sulfur compounds and antioxidant components contained in garlic in promoting fat metabolism, lowering serum TC, preventing arteriosclerosis, regulating blood pressure and inhibiting platelet aggregation.
Garlic is good for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, preventing and treating vascular diseases, fighting bacteria and viruses and killing bacteria. It is a natural oxidant, and garlic enzyme has a good effect! However, there are also some shortcomings, such as severe irritation to chronic gastritis and inflammatory diseases, irritation to glasses, and no harm to healthy people when taking Chinese medicine.
Therefore, garlic is not harmful to cardiovascular system, but beneficial. Of course, the amount of garlic eaten should not be too large, which will hurt the eyes. In addition, the release of allicin in garlic requires a condition, that is, it must be combined with oxygen in the air, so before eating, it must be cut or mashed, and allicin is hot. The function will be weakened, so it's best to eat it raw or put it in when it comes out of the pot. If the stomach is not good, it should not be eaten. If the stomach is not very friendly to more irritating foods, it is not recommended to eat garlic. After all, garlic itself is still relatively irritating to the stomach.
