One of the most widely used ingredients in almost every cuisine around the globe is garlic. It’s so popular because it has an excellent taste, gives flavor to every dish and on top of it all it’s health beneficial.

Eating raw garlic can help you with a lot of medical conditions and even doctors recommend it. It can help you lower high blood pressure and cholesterol, prevent coronary heart disease and heart attack. It’s also very beneficial in reducing the effects of atherosclerosis.

Just one garlic clove can help you with everyday health problems like hay fever, traveler’s diarrhea, cold, flu, bug bites and fungal infections. Garlic can also help you manage the symptoms of osteoarthritis, diabetes, and an enlarged prostate. It’s an excellent immune system booster and can give you a full body detox. Moreover, if you mix it with onion and ginger it can alleviate chemo side-effects.

How to use garlic?

Garlic is best consumed raw because its active ingredient – allicin loses its properties if it’s processed thermally. Crush and slice the cloves and leave it aside for 15 minutes before you eat it. When you crush the cloves, it activates a reaction that increases the allicin’s bio-availability.

It’s also best if you eat the garlic on an empty stomach because it’s easier for your body to absorb the nutrients when your stomach is not full.

Raw Garlic and Honey

Mince 2-3 garlic cloves and mix them with one tablespoon of honey. Consume this mixture every day and you’ll notice how energized you’ll feel and how much healthier you’ll be.
