2008Poor garlic gets a bad rap for causing stinky breath and repelling people. But did you know that garlic can actually enhance beauty?? That out weighs the bad breath!! Garlic is a powerful beauty food that has so many amazing benefits.

Garlic triggers the liver to release toxins from the body. While this is happening garlic is also protecting the liver from harm. This is how garlic purifies the blood stream and promotes detoxification, which helps maintain and promote healthy clear skin!

Garlic is a great digestive aid, which assists elimination of waste from the body. It does this by stimulating the secretion of digestive juices as well as peristalsis (wave-like contractions that move waste along the digestive tract).

Garlic can also be used as a natural antibiotic to fight serious infections. It fights against bacteria and viruses associated with colds and flu. This also helps reduce inflammation of the stomach and intestines.

The active component in garlic is the sulfur compound, which is called allicin. Allicin is a powerful natural substance, which helps stop the growth of germs and inhibits their ability to grow and reproduce.  Because of this, garlic can inhibit the growth of internal yeast and can be beneficial in getting rid of candidiasis. This is a condition, which tends to be associated with acne.

Garlic has also been linked to improving heart health. It is packed with vitamins and minerals and has anticancer properties.

These are many of the ways garlic can help you beautify!! So next time you purposely try to avoid garlic, think of all the benefits you will reap if you don’t!

Enjoy!
