Health benefits of cloves.

1. Natural bad breath cure.
2. Clove cleans tongue, palate and upper part of the throat of any bacteria or decaying matter and its strong aromatic qualities alter the smell within the mouth. Chewing clove or gargling with clove solution is the easiest way to keep the bad breath away.
3. Improve Digestion: Clove promotes an increase in digestive enzymes as well as increases digestive motility, thus curbing of excess digestive gases, which can otherwise contribute to stomach bloating and flatulence. Cloves also relax the smooth lining of the gastrointestinal tract, thus alleviating vomiting, diarrhea and stomach ache.
4. Control Diabetes: Eating cloves with meals decreases insulin resistance and enhances the effect of gastrointestinal hormones responsible for satiety and decreased gastric emptying rates.Cloves help insulin function more efficiently, thus requiring less insulin to get glucose into cells to provide energy. A study presented at Experimental Biology demonstrated that cloves boost insulin functioning and lower blood glucose levels along with reducing total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides in people with type 2 diabetes. The study suggested that type-2 diabetics who consume 1 to 3 grams of cloves per day could control their glucose levels.
5. Good Bone Health: The hydro-alcoholic extracts of cloves such as eugenol, flavones, isoflavones and flavonoids protect bone density and mineral content of bone, as well as increase the tensile strength of bones.Cloves contain bone-friendly nutrients like manganese (essential for synthesis of connective tissue in cartilage and bone), omega-3 fatty acid (increases calcium absorption, reduce bone loss and maintain mineral density), Vitamin C (boosts collagen production) and Vitamin K (regulates the activity of osteoclast cells).100 grams of ground clove provides 141.8 mcg of Vitamin K and 60.13 mg of manganese.
6. Liver Protection: The high antioxidant content in cloves protect organs from the harmful effects of free radicals, particularly the liver. In the long run, metabolism increases free radical production while simultaneously decreasing the level of antioxidants in the liver. Cloves counteract those effects with its hepatoprotective properties.
