Garlic

• With only about 4 calories per clove, garlic adds big flavor without adding significant weight to your diet.
• It's a good source of vitamins B6 and C, as well as manganese, selenium, and phosphorus, all crucial for various bodily functions.
• Garlic contains a sulfur compound called alliin, which converts to allicin when chopped or crushed. Allicin is responsible for many of garlic's health-promoting properties.
• Allicin has potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, helping your body fight off infections and illnesses.
• Garlic's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce chronic inflammation, linked to various health conditions like heart disease and arthritis.
