China is currently the largest procedure of garlic, which is particularly associated with the dishes of northern Africa and southern Europe. It is native to central Asia and has long had a history as a health-giving food, used both to prevent and cure illness .In ancient Egypt, workers building the pyramids were given garlic to keep them strong, while Olympic athletes in Greece ate it to increase their resistance to infection. The forefather of antibiotic medicine, Louis Pasteur, claimed garlic was as effective as penicillin in treating infections. Modern-day scientists have proved that garlic can indeed kill bacteria and even some viruses, so it can be very useful for people who have coughs and colds. In addition, some doctors believe that garlic can reduce blood pressure The only disadvantage to this truly amazing food is that the strong and rather spicy smell of garlic is not the most pleasant!
