Fresh garlic contains amino acid called "Allen" and when you cut the head of garlic, "Allen" reacts with an enzyme called "Olnz" which converts "Allen" to "Allenaze" which is strong factor against bacteria with its distinctive smell acrid, and this in turn is divided into several components therapeutic anti-fungal and anti-blood clot, prevent stroke and blood blug because it makes blood chips less viscous. Garlic also helps reduce blood pressure as well. And back to these properties garlic is useful to use in the treatment of coronary artery disease, and heart rhythm disorder.
Garlic decreases lipoprotein in the blood
The experiments on rabbits have shown that garlic oil reduces (L.D.L) in the blood . Low-density lipoprotein or -bad cholesterol- stick to the wall of the coronary artery, and increases the risk of heart disease. At the same time, and in turn increases the "H.DL." Which is high-density lipoprotein, or good cholesterol, which does not adhere to the wall of a coronary artery.
Some patients in analytical studies with heart disease were given ten cloves of garlic a day for a month, and these studies showed an increase of lytic substances for the blug in the blood.
