Garlic is a spicy plant from the onion family that has an active ingredient called allicin. Allicin has a medicinal effect that can boost your immune system and overall wellbeing. One daily clove of garlic can decrease you bad cholesterol levels and can lower your risk of heart disease by 38%.
In one study, people who took garlic during a cold reduced the length of their symptoms from 5 days to 2 days. If eating garlic by itself is too intense, chop some up and swallow it with a tablespoon of yogurt. After chopping garlic, allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes to give the allicin enough time to activate.
