Garlic for Health
Garlic is a traditional tonic in many cultures.
In my teens and twenties, I was very aware that one should
not eat garlic or onions out of respect for other people
(e.g., bosses or potential dates). However, garlic breath
does not bother me nearly so much as the foul stenches
caused by tobacco use, lazy dental care, lack of exercise,
obesity, and / or poor bowel regularity.
I now use a lot of garlic, bought as pre-peeled cloves or
dried minced chunks. I frankly like the taste. For those who
think raw garlic "bites", briefly cook in microwave, water,
a small amount of oil, or mix in many foods.
Garlic oil from crushed cloves or garlic capsules can heal
surface infections, cuts, herpes blisters, and other
ailments.
Before you get carried away with pills, capsules, and other
sources of concentrated garlic goodness, be aware that the
Mayo Clinic says, "Unfortunately, garlic is most effective
when you eat it raw and in large amounts."
I remember reading that Eleanor Roosevelt ate several cloves
of raw garlic every day, which she covered with honey,
because she hated the taste. The garlic was not the only
reason, but she did live a long active life.
