Effect of garlic on immunity - facts and myths

The approaching autumn and winter season means an increased risk of falling ill. Therefore, many people decide to enrich their daily diet with products with a valuable impact on immunity. Here are the most important facts and myths about garlic and its use in the fight against diseases.

Myth: garlic has no direct effect on immunity

Although a large part of the population believes that garlic has an exceptionally valuable effect on immunity, in practice this turns out to be a myth. Active substances contained in the plant do not affect the state and functioning of immunity as, for example, vitamin C contained in acerola or rosehips. Nevertheless, the consumption of garlic is recommended for people who are weakened and struggling with cold problems.

Fact: Garlic has a valuable effect on infection

It is not without reason that garlic is often referred to as a 'natural antibiotic'. It turns out that consumption of the plant has an extremely valuable effect on shortening the time of infection and counteracting pathogenic bacteria. All this is due to the allicin contained in garlic - an active substance with an intense taste and aroma, which has very strong antibacterial properties. Therefore, the consumption of garlic during the cold and certain illnesses (e.g. tonsillitis, flu) may prove to be effective.

Fact: garlic prevents parasites

The problem of weakened immunity is very often conditioned by the presence of parasites. Human roundworms, tapeworms or pinworms living in the digestive tract may cause deterioration of the organism. Garlic has an exceptionally beneficial effect in eliminating "uninvited guests", which are often found in the intestines and can contribute to multidimensional metabolic impairment.

The intense aroma and distinctive taste of garlic are, for many, reasons that rule out the use of the plant in everyday menus. Nevertheless, it is worth choosing to use it prophylactically in meals. The enormous benefits and positive effects of garlic cloves will certainly be appreciated by the body in conditions that are caused by bacterial infections or parasites.
