What is Pasta and is it Healthy. The Health Benefits of Garlic in your Daily Diet

Pasta is a type of noodle and is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily.

Pasta is a grain and can come in many forms. Pasta offers a rich source of nutrients; vitamins and minerals that can help you meet your daily nutritional needs. A balance of whole and enriched grains can help promote a complete diet, and pasta's nutritional value is further enhanced when supplemented with vegetables, tomato sauce and lean meats. Adding Garlic to your healthy pasta recipes is an added bonus to a well balanced diet.

Garlic is most well-known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties. They help control bacterial, viral, fungal, yeast and worm infections.

The Benefits of Garlic

Garlic has a variety of potent sulphur-containing compounds which are the reason for its characteristic pungent odour. Allicin, the vital compound among them, is known to have great anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties.

The benefits of allicin can be best garnered when it’s finely chopped, minced or pureed and let sit for some time.

Garlic is also a reliable source of selenium. Allicin, along with other compounds like ajoene and alliin found in them also have an effect on the circulatory, digestive and immunological systems of our body and help in lowering blood pressure. Garlic in your daily diet also helps to lower your cholesterol.
