Garlic is known to be good for health. Researchers claim that Adenosin and Cystein Sulfoxide in garlic cloves can enhance and regulate enzymatic liver processes. Garlicin is proven to be antibiotic like Penicillin. Adenosin in garlic can prevent Thombocyte Aggregation thus can lead to better coronary circulation.
There are a lot of interesting facts to read on about garlic in Internet but for me, garlic reminds me of my childhood in the Philippines. When I was young, I was afraid of darkness and my late mother had always comforted me by saying:
"Do not be afraid, we have garlic hanging all over the Nipa Hut."
In the Philippines, people believe that garlic can drive away bad spirits, especially vampires.
Well, it did help when I was young. Nowadays, I know the truth about garlic and lately, I found out that garlic is one of my favorite spices.
