Garlic (Allium sativum) has been found to exhibit several health benefits, including inhibiting enzymes involved in lipid synthesis, decreasing platelet aggregation, preventing lipid peroxidation, and increasing antioxidant status.From the ancient time eating of Garlic and onion has been demonstrated to reduce bad lipid in our blood leading to prevention of Atherosclerosis of Brain,Kidney Eye and Cardiac microvessels and thus very helpful in these lipid induced hyoertension and related disease of kidney,Brain,Eye and Heart and now a daysit has been shown that Garlic reduced immediate rise of blood sugar in Diabetes after food thus preventing Diabetes bad effect on heart and other organs.Garlic has got an unique antioxidant property of reducing pain of inflammatory or immunological diorder related pain of Joints,bone and muscles,it is very impotant to heal osteoarthritic changes of Knee ,hip and small joints and rheumatoid arthritis and thus very much helpful to ameliorate Bony joints inflammatory or degenerative pains.
By recent study Ohio state UniversityComprehensive cancer research centre it has been demonstrated that Garlic protects us from cancer induced by some contaminated water or componds which enter in our body by sudden cnsuption or by food adulteration or by mistake these compund by process of nitrosation produce carcinogens,The level of carcinogen found in urine of a patient is less who counsume good garlic as shown in their urine level ,more garlic less carcinogen in urine.thus garlic prevents cancer beside giving us a spicy test to our food stuffs.
Garlic oil can protect against diabetic cardiomyopathy, a form of heart disease in people with diabetes, reveals a novel study.Garlic has an enormous potential to prevent cardiomyopathy, which is a leading cause of death amongst diabetics.
It works by controlling the abnormally high sugar levels that occur during diabetes on a common basis.The study, conducted by researchers from Taiwan, took the help of a few diabetic laboratory rats for the research.The rats were fed either garlic oil or corn oil by the researchers. They were then observed to see which oil led to better prevention of cardiomyopathy.Overall, diabetes related cardiac dysfunctions in the rats were dose-dependently relieved with garlic oil.The changes found in the rats were related to the antioxidant properties of the oil, the researchers found.20 contributing substances found in oil,on analysis, almost 20 substances that may contribute to this protective effect were found in garlic oil.
"Our results show that garlic oil supplementation for diabetic rats leads to several alterations at multiple levels in hearts including cardiac contractile functions and structures, myosin chain gene expressions, oxidative stress, and apoptosis and related signaling activities," wrote the researchers, led by Wei-Wen Kuo from the China Medical University in Taiwan.
"In conclusion, garlic oil possesses significant potential for protecting hearts from diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy," the study authors said in a statement.
