Unexpected effects of sprouted garlic

Normally, most sprouted vegetables and fruits are toxic, even extremely toxic like potatoes. However, sprouted garlic has many health benefits.

Scientists say that sprouted garlic contains many substances that fight viruses that invade the body. In particular, sprouted garlic contains extremely strong antioxidants (transformed from the time it has not sprouted to the time it has sprouted) that help prevent diseases caused by bacteria and viruses.

Anti-cancer

Not only good for health, sprouted garlic is also the nemesis of cancer, a natural medicine to prevent this dangerous disease. The germination process in garlic stimulates the production of phytochemicals, which can block the spread of malignant cancer cells and inhibit the activity of carcinogens in the body. In addition, garlic also produces a large amount of free oxygen radicals - one of the main reasons for the formation of cancer.

Cardiovascular protection

A recent study published in the ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry also showed that garlic sprouted for 5 days has higher heart-healthy antioxidant activity than fresh garlic. Just like phytochemicals block the activity of carcinogens, sprouted garlic also boosts enzyme activity and prevents activities that lead to plaque formation - an important factor leading to heart blockages, protecting the body from heart attacks.

Prevent stroke

Sprouted garlic provides a rich source of anjoene, which prevents the formation of blood clots. Additionally, the nitrites in garlic help dilate the arteries. Both substances work together to help prevent the formation of strokes.

Anti-aging

We all know that antioxidants help prevent premature aging by eliminating free radicals in the body. But according to research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, sprouted garlic not only prevents the appearance of wrinkles but also has the ability to minimize the deterioration of organs in the body.

Strengthen the immune system

If you often suffer from colds and coughs or infections, garlic is an effective remedy. This is because garlic sprouts, especially those that have sprouted for 5 days, provide the body with antioxidants, which kill infection in the cells in the body. These antioxidants in turn boost your immune system by protecting the cells that are very effective in killing infections. Eating sprouted garlic will help “stop immediately” the symptoms of food poisoning such as diarrhea or stomach pain when eating food of unknown origin.
