Garlic – useful in sickness as well as its prevention

If you want your health to stay on the side of wellness you have to prevent sickness. Garlic is one such food that helps you keep you in a wellness state.

It has been used as a medicinal herb for centuries and has demonstrated antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal effects.

It can also stimulate the immune system.

Garlic is useful during common cold or flu.

One study found that people who took garlic got sick less often. Overall, the garlic group spent about 70% fewer days sick than the placebo group.

In another study, people taking garlic not only got sick less often, but they got better 3.5 days faster than the placebo group.

Adding garlic to chicken soup can both add flavor and make it even more effective against cold or flu symptoms.
