Kumander Bawang


Allium sativum commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion family ALLIACEAE.

Garlic has been used throughout history for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

In test tube studies, garlic has been found to have antibacterial, antirival, antifungal activity. Garlic is also claimed to help prevent heart disease, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure and cancer.

Another study showed that supplementation with garlic extract inhibited vascular calcification in human patients with high blood cholesterol.

Garlic may help fight cancer, new research suggests.

The research is all about body processes associated with nitrogen-containing compounds. These processes include nitrosation, or the conversion of some substances found in foods or contaminated water into carcinogens.

About 20% of nitrates that are consumed convert into nitrites. A cascade of events can convert these compounds into what are called nitrosamines, and many, but not all, nitrosamines are linked to cancer.

In my case, why does my tastebuds do not like the taste of garlic?

I love to cook with spices & herbs like garlic, but seems doesn't feel to swallow garlic.

When it used to, I feel vomiting, I feel irritated. I dont even like the smell of it.

Kaya siguro mahina ang immune system ko, madaling akong magkasakit, madali akong kapitan ng common illnesses, and i feel like I am suffering from high blood pressure.

Garlic or bawang also, as commonly known in Philippines, ay pangontra sa mga aswang, manananggal at kung anu-ano pang masasamang ispiritu.

Dahil ba sa amoy ng bawang kaya ayaw ng mga aswang? At dahil ba sa panlaban sa mga sakit-sakit kaya takot ang mga aswang?

Im pretty sure, hindi ako aswang.

Hindi lang ako mahilig kumain ng bawang.
