What are the benefits of allicin in dehydrated garlic to the human body

Dehydrated garlic contains abundant allicin, which is believed to bring the following benefits to the human body:

(1) Detoxification: Allicin can promote the excretion of heavy metal lead in the human body, and this is a continuous process, so allicin has detoxification effects.

(2) Protecting the liver: Liver damage is caused by the lipid peroxide malondialdehyde, and allicin can inhibit the damage of lipid peroxides to the inner membrane structure of the liver. It can also promote the activity of glutathione S-transferase in liver cells, thereby enhancing the detoxification effect of the liver and achieving liver protection. Allicin can also increase the content of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the liver. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate can regulate the transport of lipid metabolism membranes, enhance the activity of various enzymes, promote cell proliferation, reduce biosynthesis, promote lipid hydrolysis, and eliminate blood lipids in the liver, reducing the content of blood lipids in the liver, thereby alleviating the effect of fatty liver.

(3) Enhancing immunity: Allicin can enhance the body's immunity, promote the synthesis of more antibody cells in the spleen, activate Y lymphocytes, and promote the secretion of lysozyme, thereby improving cellular immunity, humoral immunity, and non-specific immune function in the body.

(4) Lowering blood sugar: Allicin has the effect of lowering blood sugar because it can promote the proliferation of pancreatic cells, the transformation of pancreatic acinar heart cells, and the secretion of more insulin in the human body. This lowers blood sugar in the body, and allicin also combines with sugar, fat, and protein in the body to produce glycogenic allicin, lipid allicin, and complex protein. These substances have similar effects in the human body to vitamin E, It has the function of antioxidant and improving insulin, thereby maintaining insulin synthesis and secretion.

(5) Anti cancer: It can inhibit nitrite reducing bacteria in the stomach, which in turn inhibits the formation of nitrite, which happens to be a carcinogen, and thus allicin has the effect of preventing gastric cancer.

(6) Protection of cardiovascular system: Allicin can reduce the total cholesterol content in the blood, reduce blood viscosity, lower blood pressure, reduce the hematocrit of red blood cells, and inhibit platelet activity, thus playing a protective role in cardiovascular system. Some studies have shown that allicin can activate blood circulation to dissipate stasis, clear collaterals and dissipate cold, etc. Allicin can reduce the content of cortisol in human plasma, prevent and improve coronary spasm and reduce peripheral vascular tension, Therefore, allicin can prevent and improve atherosclerosis and thrombosis.

(7) Protecting the digestive tract: For chronic stomach diseases, allicin can reduce the content of nitrite in the stomach, inhibit nitrite reducing bacteria, and prevent them from acting. Therefore, allicin has a certain therapeutic effect on chronic stomach diseases and can improve symptoms such as stomach discomfort, acid reflux, burning, bloating, and loss of appetite.

(8) Sterilization: Allicin has strong bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects, inhibiting or even killing various substances such as cocci, viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. Among them, pathogenic bacteria include Streptococcus, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Diplococcus pneumoniae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Vibrio cholerae. Allicin can kill
