what are the health implications of eating ginger and garlic?

Question

how does a diet of ginger and garlic help the health system

Answer 1

Ginger is beneficial for any number of digestive problems, especially an upset stomach. It seems to work the same in cooked foods as well as raw. It also tends to freshen one's breath.
Garlic on the other hand seems to work generally as a blood thinner, although historically it was prescribed for all sorts of digestive ailments. Pliny the younger even suggested it as a cure for Tuberculosis, Hippocrates as a laxative.
Clearly, it helps control blood pressure as well as cholesterol and is a powerful anti-oxidant. In earlier times, through WWII in fact, it was used as an antiseptic for wounds. Cooked garlic is less potent than raw due to the loss of allicin when heated or even bruised. Apparently it is most potent in its raw form, such as in a delicious pesto. The only caution I may add is that if you are going to eat garlic, make sure the other people close to you are eating it too.
Lastly, it often works as a mosquito repellent in most humans or a flea repellent in dogs and cats. Be careful with pets not to give them too much as it definitely helps the blood to resist clotting. I try a sautéed garlic clove once per week in the flea season in an egg.
