7 Awesome Health Benefits of our Garlicky friend.

Garlic is one of the greatest natural sources for amazing health benefits. It can be consumed cooked or fresh. It is most easily included in your food or can be eaten on its own. One thing I always struggled with was the odor. But I have found that chewing a sprig of parsley after eating garlic helps to combat the aroma of garlic breath! Consuming too much garlic in large doses can be detrimental to your health. The recommended dosage of two or three for adults and half for kids should be adhered to. Garlic permeates your bloodstream which is why it is so effective. Garlic will also leave your body through your pores and will leave body odor if consumed in high amounts.
