(PCM) Garlic lovers rejoice! Here’s another reason to the love the flavorful kitchen staple: it can help prevent joint pain and even reduce your chances of developing osteoarthritis by 25 percent.
Garlic, onions, scallions, shallots and other members of the allium family offer the joint health benefits, so if you’re not a big garlic fan, there are plenty of other ways to reap the benefits. According to RealAge, garlic and other alliums contain diallyl disulphide, which acts as a buffer to keep cartilage-damaging enzymes out of your body. It’s also what gives them their pungent, earthy aromas.
Start adding more garlic and onions to all your meals – whether it’s soup and salads or meat and potatoes – both taste good in just about everything! If you’re worried about your breath afterward, mix in some fresh parsley or basil, which can help release breath-freshening oils.
