Why is garlic good for the body?




Garlic is good for the body because it contains a substance called Alicin.
Now, everything around us, absolutely everything, is made of molecules: water, glass, hair, lamp, air, paper… Even our body is made up of molecules. 
 
Just like a glass can break if its surrounding area is too cold or too hot or if it has been hit, molecules can also be destroyed by damage. Our body is made up of millions and millions of molecules. These molecules can get damaged in many ways. For example: people who smoke cigarettes; when the smoke of the cigar enters the smoker’s body, it will damage some molecules. The damaged molecules in the body of a human are called Free Radicals.

Free Radicals are very harmful. They cause aging, heart problems and many other unpleasant symptoms.

Alicin which is a substance in garlic can destroy Free Radicals. This means that along with exercise and a healthy diet, Alicin can help to reduce many diseases and can also reduce the growth of wrinkles and many other signs of aging.
