How Garlic Fights Colds and The Flu :
Garlic has been used for centuries as both a food ingredient and a medicine. In fact, eating garlic can provide a wide variety of health benefits (1).
This includes reduced heart disease risk, improved mental health and enhanced immune function (2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
One study gave 146 healthy volunteers either garlic supplements or a placebo for three months. The garlic group had a 63% lower risk of getting a cold, and their colds were also 70% shorter (11).
If you often get sick with a cold or flu, eating garlic can help reduce your symptoms or prevent your illness entirely.
Garlic Can Boost Immune Function :
Garlic contains compounds that help the immune system fight germs (5, 6).
Whole garlic contains a compound called alliin. When garlic is crushed or chewed, this compound turns into allicin (with a c), the main active ingredient in garlic (7).
Allicin contains sulfur, which gives garlic its distinctive smell and taste (8).
However, allicin is unstable, so it quickly converts to other sulphur-containing compounds thought to give garlic its medicinal properties (5).
These compounds have been shown to boost the disease-fighting response of some types of white blood cells in the body when they encounter viruses, such as the viruses that cause the common cold or flu (5, 9).
