Garlic is a spicy plant in the onion family that contains an active compound called allicin. Allicin has a medicinal effect that can boost your immune system and overall well-being. One daily clove of garlic can decrease your bad cholesterol levels and can lower your risk of heart disease by 38%. In one study, people who took garlic during a cold reduced the length of their symptoms from 5 days to 2 days.
If eating garlic on its own is too intense, chop some up and swallow it with a tablespoon of yogurt. After chopping garlic, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the allicin to activate.
