Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Shen, and I'm here to share my health tips with you today!
Let me tell you a case first, there is a 63-year-old man who likes to eat garlic very much, and he can't do without it for every meal.
As a result, a year later, our doctors were shocked:
The old man said proudly, "I have a secret!" ”
The old man's surname is Li, and he is a well-known "garlic fan" in our community.
Every day at dinner, he has to eat a few cloves of garlic, which he said can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, and can also lower blood pressure and blood lipids.
At first, the family advised him to eat less, for fear that his stomach would not be able to stand it, but he said happily: "It's okay, I think it's good." ”
After a long time, everyone got used to his habit.
A year later, during the physical examination, Uncle Li's indicators were normal, and even I asked him curiously:
"Old man, why do you usually eat so healthily?"
Uncle Li smiled and said, "I just like to eat some garlic, nothing else." ”
Let's talk about it!
Garlic is a common ingredient that is rich in nutrients and antioxidants, so it is believed to have certain health benefits.
Here are some diseases that garlic may help prevent:
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: Garlic contains an active substance called "allicin", which can help inhibit platelet aggregation, enhance plasmin activity, delay atherosclerosis, and prevent thrombosis, so eating raw garlic may help prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Heart disease: Garlic may help protect the heart and prevent heart disease.
Lowers cholesterol: Garlic removes fat from blood vessels, helping to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Digestive tract tumors: Moderate consumption of garlic may help prevent digestive tract tumors.
Allicin, the main component of garlic, can inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer cells, induce their differentiation and apoptosis, and has certain anti-cancer and bactericidal effects.
Respiratory tract infections: The antimicrobial properties of garlic help to cleanse the skin for a better complexion.
You can cut the garlic clove in half and gently rub it over the pimple and the pimple will start to deflat.
Weight loss: Garlic can stimulate the pituitary gland, control the function of some endocrine glands, regulate the body's digestion and absorption of fats and carbohydrates, and prevent the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol, so as to achieve weight loss.
It is important to note that while garlic may have health benefits, it is not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
In fact, garlic is a good thing, rich in nutrients, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive effects.
But not everyone is suitable, such as stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal diseases should eat less.
Garlic is a common ingredient that contains a substance called allicin, which has certain antibacterial and antiviral effects.
Allicin has a certain stimulating effect on the stomach.
However, for those who already have stomach problems, such as gastritis or stomach ulcers, consuming large amounts of garlic may aggravate stomach discomfort such as stomach pain, acid reflux, and other symptoms.
Also, while garlic is good for stomach health, it is not suitable for everyone.
For example, some people may be allergic to garlic or need to limit their consumption of garlic due to other health conditions.
Therefore, if you have any health problems, it is best to consult with your doctor or dietitian to determine the best diet plan for you.
Overall, garlic is safe for most people to consume in moderation, but if you have stomach problems or other health problems, you may need to reduce the amount of garlic you consume.
For example, he began to insist on doing Tai Chi every morning and walking in the evening, which accelerated his metabolism and helped control his weight and blood lipids.
Uncle Li insisted on measuring his blood pressure every day and taking antihypertensive drugs according to the doctor's advice to control high blood pressure.
Uncle Li maintains a positive and optimistic attitude, he believes that a good attitude will lead to a good health.
Uncle Li has also developed the habit of regular physical examinations to detect and deal with health problems in a timely manner.
These habits have had a positive impact on Uncle Li's health, his body is getting healthier and his bone density is maintained at the level of his youth, which is a healthy lifestyle that we can learn from.
Therefore, while we are pursuing health, we should also pay attention to a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and don't forget to keep a happy mood.
Just like Uncle Li, be a happy "garlic fan", but you also have to do what you can!
Well, that's all for today's sharing, I hope everyone can have a healthy body like Uncle Li!
Remember to like and forward it, so that more people can understand health knowledge!
