Raw garlic is often hailed for its potential health benefits. It contains allicin, a compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Some studies suggest that garlic may have positive effects on cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Additionally, it may have anti-diabetic properties, potentially helping with blood sugar control. While these benefits are promising, it’s essential to note that garlic should not be considered a standalone cure for serious ailments. It can be a valuable addition to a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
