Garlic's powerful ability to reduce free radical

Garlic
Tested
Execution

Scientists at the University of Kuwait conducted a study to determine if garlic could reduce damage from free radicals, which has been known to lead to vascular disease in people with diabetes and high blood pressure. Measurements of total serum antioxidants were taken from diabetic and hypertensive rates before and after having been treated with garlic.

The researchers found that the serum levels of antioxidants had increased significantly in both groups of rats just three weeks after treatment. The diabetic rats also experienced a decrease in serum glucose, while the hypertensive rats had lower systolic blood pressures. The results suggested that garlic is able to increase total antioxidant status.

New studies have also shown that garlic is able to block cancer. A Republic of Korea study identifies diallyl disulfide (DADS) "as the most prevalent oil-soluble sulfur compound in garlic, inhibiting cell proliferation in many cell lines."

The ability of garlic to decr ease genetic mutations and reduce the number of small and large lung tumors was demonstrated in another recent study published in the March issue of Mutation Research. In a third study, scientists in the Republic of China found that garlic oil was able to enhance the production of cancer-killing cytokines, as well as to increase the proliferation rate of lymphocytes, which are responsible for the body's immune response.

The compound responsible for garlic's healing powers is called Allicin, which has both antibiotic and anti-fungal properties. Allicin is only produced when a whole garlic clove is crushed or chopped, and it begins to degrade quickly. With its high sulfur content, garlic has been used in skin and hair products to improve skin tone and hair shine.

Garlic can also be taken as a supplement in the form of garlic extract, which has been found to exhibit many of the same cancer blocking actions and ability to boost antioxidant levels as raw garlic.

Footnote; Garlic is good for health, but smelly. I took garlic supplement . Its really helped me to reduce my blood pressure, if ate salty food too much.

Gambar Candid Angsaku yang bernama Qistina aka Ina

Hehe2x. Nama angsaku ni sekejap qistina sekejap Ina. Gara2x SpaQ punya citer la nie. Aku x da bela kucing, jadi angsa ni kiranya dah jadi macam puppy aku la. Ada kucing pun, cuma kucing Pak Usop dan cik Jat yang selalu melepak kat umah aku.Si Ina ni suka memekak bila dia lapar. tambahan pula skang ni dah solo selepas kematian madunya dan si jantannya cabut lari. Sian si Ina aku. Tapi, rasanya dia ni jenis independent sebab dulu masa sama madu dia, sekejap jer jalan sama2x. Lepas pulih dari amnesia, dah tak ingat kat madunya. Ina ni asyik buat hal dia. Tu pasal madunya, main2x kat tepi jalan sampai kena langgar.



Masa aku n mak kat makkah, mak busu aku jaga dia. mak busu kata dia x kuar dari shelter dia.asyik duduk kat dalam situ sampai sepupu aku bagi dia makan berdekatann ngannya. benda yang aku cari bila sampai ajer kat umah lepas balik dari mekah ialah Ina.nasib baiklah dia kenal lagi kat tuannya ni. tak sampai 10 minit pastu, si Ina ni mulalah buat siren.tergelak semua sedara mara aku dengar dia buat bising pasal dah lama tak memekak sejak kitaorang takda.

Saje jer aku snap gambar dia masa hari ujan hari tu
