Garlic makes for the perfect seasoning on almost anything

I love garlic. In fact, it's so good that I use it in almost everything where it can complete the flavor: pasta sauces, fish, chicken, vegetables and even on whole-wheat sandwiches. Not only does the pungent taste awaken your sense, it's also a great thing to eat for good health.

Yes, the smell may turn some people off, but if you can get past that, garlic is really great for you. It's been said many times that garlic has cancer-fighting properties along with other health benefits, and some researchers now may understand why that is.

The new study suggested that red blood cells turn garlic components into what are called cell messenger hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In turn, this relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow. Result? Less incidences of heart disease and blood flow problems.
