Throughout ancient history, the main use of garlic is because of its healthy and healing properties, which we will explore today. Most of the health benefits of garlic are due to sulfur compounds, which are released when slicing, crushing or chewing cloves.

Perhaps the most famous such compound is allicin. However, allicin is an unstable compound that is present only briefly in fresh garlic after it has been chopped or crushed. Other compounds that may play a role in the health benefits of garlic include dialyl disulfide and s-allyl cysteine.

Anticancer-effect-of-garlic_0_1

The exact mechanisms of preventive effects against cancer are not clear, although several hypotheses have been suggested. Organocer compounds modulate the activity of several metabolizing enzymes that activate (cytochrome P450s) or detoxify (glutathione S-transferases) carcinogens and inhibit the formation of DNA adducts in several target tissues. Antiproliferative activity is described in several tumor cell lines, which is probably mediated by induction of apoptosis and changes in the cell cycle.

What is collagen?

What-is-collagen?_0_0

Collagen is the most common protein in the body, and it is the main component of connective tissue that builds tendons, ligaments, skin and muscles. Collagen has many important functions, including providing structure and strength of the skin, strengthening bones, building the intestinal mucosa and others.

Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis, so you should also make sure you eat foods rich in this vitamin, such as citrus fruits, broccoli and bell peppers.

Digestive enzymes break down collagen in food into individual amino acids and peptides. Additives may be the better choice, since the collagen in them is already degraded or hydrolyzed, which is why it is believed to be digested more efficiently than collagen than food.
