19. Garlic
Garlic is incredibly beneficial for a number of reasons. For starters, garlic is antimicrobial and anti-bacterial. It is often suggested to act as a natural antibiotic and it can certainly helps with certain digestive disorders as a result.
What’s more, is that garlic – like beets – is another vasodilator. To remind you what this means, it means that blood will make its way around the body more easily thanks to widened blood vessels.
This aids with the delivery of nutrients as well, speeding up recovery from training and injury and thereby reducing inflammation.
