Don’t throw out sprouted garlic, as it has more heart-healthy antioxidant properties than fresh garlic. For thousands of years, according to Ayurveda, regular consumption of garlic has been recommended for its many health benefits. There are also several studies suggesting that sprouted garlic may not have any adverse impact on health when consumed, as is commonly believed.
Here are multiple health benefits of sprouted garlic.
Can help prevent strokes
Garlic is high in ajoene, a substance that inhibits the development of blood clots. It also contains nitrates, a chemical that helps widen (or widen) the arteries. Both exercises, when combined, help prevent the development of strokes.
Protects the heart
Garlic extracts increase enzyme activity and prevent the development of soft plaque in the arteries, which is a major contributor to the development of heart blocks. This reduces your risk of a heart attack.
Prevents wrinkles and premature aging
Garlic pods are rich in antioxidants and their regular consumption not only prevents the formation of wrinkles but also helps to keep the skin healthy. Rich antioxidants in garlic also prevent premature aging.
Boosts Immunity
Sprouted garlic, especially the pods that have sprouted for four days, provide your body with a potent dose of antioxidants. These antioxidants, in turn, help strengthen the immune system by protecting the cells that fight infection.
Reduced risk of cancer
Another function of phytochemicals is to limit the activity of carcinogens (cancer-causing compounds) by preventing the spread of malignant cells. Antioxidants protect against free radicals, which are one of the main drivers of cancer cell growth. Garlic, a rich source of phytochemicals, helps minimize the risk of cancer.
