The next superfood is one of the oldest medicinal foods around -- garlic. And in ancient times
garlic was used to keep slaves and warriors healthy. The reason why garlic is a superfood
is that studies have shown that by consuming a garlic supplement consistently for four
weeks you can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 12%. It is interesting to
note to get the full benefits of garlic it's best to dice it and chop it very finely and
that releases all the nutrients into the food that you are preparing. Another interesting
thing about garlic is that it has the ability to increase the good cholesterol and reduce
the bad cholesterol. It also decreases the risk of stomach and colon cancer. So garlic
is definitely a superfood you want to add to your diet. So whether you want to start
spicing up your food with garlic or take a garlic supplement, either way you can't help
but win.
