If you have seen any old vampire(吸血鬼) movies, you are probably aware(直到的,觉察的) of the supposed(假想的) power of garlic to protect(保护) against evil(罪恶). In the real world, garlic has been used as both a food and medicine for about four thousand years. 四千年?快赶上中国历史的长度了! 那么以前的人们是怎么使用它的呢? The ancient Greeks(希腊人)used garlic to treat(治疗)everything from infection(感染) to digestive(消化的)problems, and the Romans(罗马人)believed it could provide(提供)the strength and courage needed to conquer(征服)the world. Ancient Egyptians(埃及人)even believed garlic had magical(神秘的) powers which gave their laborers(劳工) the strength they needed to build the mighty(巨大的)pyramids(金字塔). 现在,人们当然会选择健身来使肌肉更结实一些,而不是去吃大蒜来是自己强壮。不过还是由许多研究表明大蒜的确有许多特性可以帮助我们提升健康。到底是什么大蒜里的什么东西有这样作用呢? |
