Local Garlic (Allium sativum) is one of the most potent immune boosters.
Wondering why?
Local garlic’s potent immune-boosting capacity mainly comes from one of its active ingredients called “allicin”. This allicin becomes activated when the garlic is sliced and left to stay for some minutes before consuming. It helps in periodic production of the body’s defense cells like the white blood cells (WBC) and T-Cells
Make it a point to include local garlic in your meals
Caution: Garlic is not to be taken with anticoagulants like warfarin as it may lead to uncontrolled bleeding episodes.
