tremendous health benefits? Here are just a few of them.
Here's why you should be munching on garlic!
Pregnant?
New research suggests that garlic is very beneficial if taken during pregnancy.
Pre-eclampsia
This is a
condition when your blood pressure increases, and there is excessive protein
retained in the urine. If you take garlic during pregnancy, it cuts the risk of
you developing pre-eclampsia.
Boosts the baby's weight
Taking
garlic boosts the weight of babies in the womb. Thus, when they are born, they
are heavier than they would have been if you hadn't taken garlic. Some babies
are born too small, so garlic is a definite boon in these cases.
Other Benefits of Garlic

Garlic
plays an important role in reducing the 'bad' cholesterol in the body. There
have been numerous studies of the effects of garlic on reducing cholesterol,
and they have well substantiated this fact. So if you have high cholesterol,
increase your garlic intake. It also helps reduce blood pressure. have a nice day
