Its taste is sometimes off-putting, as is its odorous imprint in the mouth… However, this legendary health food should have a king’s place on our plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many calories in garlic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic provides an average of  131 calories per 100 grams<\/strong> . It is composed of 7.9% proteins, 4.7% fibers, 0.47% fats (i.e. almost none) and 21.5% carbohydrates, the rest of its weight being represented by water ( approximately 65% \u200b\u200bwater).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing that a clove of garlic weighs approximately 7 to 12 grams, we might as well tell you that the  calories ingested are very low<\/strong> . You can therefore use it to enhance your dishes without any worries, even if you are careful about your weight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 \u2013 IT REDUCES BAD CHOLESTEROL<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Administered over the long term, garlic would improve hyperlipidemia<\/strong>  (= excessively high blood lipid levels). Indeed, we see that its consumption leads to an improvement in HDL cholesterol (the \u201cgood\u201d cholesterol) and a reduction in LDL cholesterol (the \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 \u2013 AGAINST EAR INFECTIONS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A popular remedy that has been around for centuries, garlic kills the bacteria that causes ear infections . <\/strong> Crush a clove of garlic, and place it in a teaspoon of hot olive oil for five minutes . <\/strong> Drain, let cool and pour a few drops into the ear canal . <\/strong> You can also purchase garlic oil from health food stores .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 \u2013 IT IS A PILLAR OF ANTI-CANCER FOODS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Thanks to its exceptional content of sulfur compounds, garlic is a cleaner which above all seems to neutralize the carcinogenic effects of toxic substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, several epidemiological studies indicate a positive effect of garlic consumption on the prevention of certain cancers: a 30% reduction in the risk of colorectal cancer and around 50% in the risk of stomach cancer in  cases<\/strong>  of high garlic consumption (18 g of raw and cooked garlic per week, or approximately 6 cloves). Other research has shown a positive impact on laryngeal, prostate<\/strong>  and  breast<\/strong> cancers  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 \u2013 PREVENTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This superfood also helps purify the blood by eliminating bad cholesterol. It also makes the blood much more fluid, thus promoting better blood circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 \u2013 AN EFFECTIVE SLIMMING ALLY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n


Garlic has unsuspected slimming properties. It is a very low calorie food. It contains natural antioxidants that facilitate weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 \u2013 AN EXCELLENT REMEDY FOR COUGH AND COLDS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This spice is a very effective natural solution for treating coughs and colds. Rich in vitamins, it is also a natural antibiotic that blocks bacterial and viral infections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
