1. Garlic-continuously "charges the human body"”
Archaeologists have discovered that there are many hieroglyphics about garlic on the ancient Egyptian pyramids. During the construction of the pyramids, slaves not only endured the pressure caused by heavy physical labor every day, but also suffered from scorching heat and severe cold. What allowed them to persevere was that regular consumption of garlic replenished their physical strength, allowing them to complete grand and spectacular buildings.
There are historical records that competitors in the early Olympic Games had to eat garlic before the competition in order to increase their strength and courage and be able to cope with their opponents.
Why did ancient Egyptians and Olympic athletes believe that garlic has the magical power to increase physical strength? It turns out that alliin, as a unique component of garlic, will become allicin after consumption. This allicin combines with the vitamin B1 component of garlic to produce allitiamin.
And this allithiamine is like a magical medicine, which not only relieves human fatigue, but also promotes the body’s intake of nutrients from food. Grape Sugar is continuously broken down and burned in cells, and then converted into energy. Garthiamine is like a generator, which can continuously "charge" the human body and maintain vitality.
