The addition of fresh garlic to your diet may be one of the nicest things you can do for yourself. Not only does it make food taste great, it has long been lauded for its medicinal properties. Since ancient times, people have gobbled up garlic for a variety of reasons. Today we know that it is beneficial in connection with reduction of cholesterol, warding off colds, high blood pressure, helping with diabetes, heart problems, cancer and is the only antibiotic that can kill infecting bacteria while protecting the body against what was causing the infection (http://www.mistral.co.uk/garlic). You could go on for hours about the benefits of this great little health-boosting gift from nature – they even have entire festivals dedicated to it. If you want to know more there is plenty of information available including the web site I mentioned above called “The Garlic Information Centre”.
