I just read an interesting story about Chester Aaron who has discovered a completely natural way to stay young, healthy and energetic. Chester is 87 years, but he has discovered how to enjoy a healthy and active life, despite his relatively high age.
The positive health effects of garlic are really surprising
Chester’s secret is garlic. Every morning he eats three to four cloves of garlic. In most cases, he just eats them in their raw form. However, if the garlic, he eats, is hot, he may add a little bit of honey.
But where does he get all these garlic from? He grows them in his own garden. He grows different kinds and has done so for many years. Every day he spends about three hours in his garden. Actually, Chester is so enthusiastic about growing and eating garlic that he has written three books on the topic.
According to the author of the article, Susan Swartz, Chester “also gargles with it [garlic] to prevent colds, rubs it on his skin to ward off mosquitoes and credits garlic with curing a nasty foot fungus.” And under the Second World War Russian soldiers used garlic to heal their wounds.
Chester also tells that he’s eaten garlic since he was a young boy. He Russian father gave Chester and the rest of the family garlic as a remedy against toothache, earache etc. His father would then take two cloves of garlic, squeeze them and put them into some olive oil. Then he used this mixture on the wounded place. The garlic they used, Chester’s father grew in their small garden.
