Yes, I heard it like that and I have seen many people add garlic in their food to get the advantage of the same. Some are busy on making ‘pickles’ with garlic to make sure the intake of garlic on daily basis.
However, Garlic is a main ingredient in our recipes. It can add the taste so we use it along with ginger while cooking.
Garlic can reduce the cholesterol level but if you use it along with your food it won’t make any difference. You have to chew the same sprinkling it with lemon juice in an empty stomach (not necessary in morning), then only you get the result. However, its strong smell is a problem for sure.
It is better to walk half an hour in a day to keep away the cholesterol problem.
Please share your experience and knowledge on this topic.

I read that it can prevent blot clots; a blood thinner. I try to use massive amounts of garlic when cooking; or we sprinkle our food with fried garlic chips to get the benefits of it.

If there's a study about it and some people proves it effects, then I will believe it. But garlic is really good for our body.

I've heard about the many health benefits of garlic and I used to munch them raw before bedtime but I stopped it because I developed acidic stomach. A friend told me that there is some part of the raw garlic which results in sour stomach so it's better cooked and mixed with food.

From what I know it prevents the blood from thickening. I actually heard a story that someone who consumed to much garlic, blood starting going out of his pores.
