Garlic is in our diet almost every day, and as an important ingredient in many recipes, garlic is one of the most important raw materials in Chinese cooking, and it is also a super healthy ingredient. Garlic is rich in iron, selenium and other trace elements and organic sulfides and other beneficial components, can be antiseptic and antibacterial, can help lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, prevent diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, can be said to be an excellent ingredient. We eat garlic almost every day, but all the benefits of garlic you know?

Although you eat garlic every day, many people don't know how to go about eating garlic the best way. In fact, at this stage, the more recognized method is to mash garlic into puree to eat. After mashing, let it sit for a few minutes before eating, so that it is favorable to the production of allicin. Garlic contains active substances such as allicin and alliinase, which will come into contact with each other after crushing, thus forming allicin with health effects. Generally speaking, raw garlic has a good antiseptic effect. During the heating process, the content of organic sulfides that play an antibacterial role will gradually decline, and the higher the temperature, the more it declines, the fewer substances that can play a beneficial role. In fact, when it comes to this, looking back at our Chinese garlic mixed with cold dishes and dumplings dipped in garlic diet is the best.

As the saying goes, there is a limit to everything, and beyond that limit even the best things can have an adverse side effect. Although garlic is good, it also has its stimulation of the digestive tract side of the adverse reaction. So for normal gastrointestinal function people eat 2-3 cloves of garlic a day, suffering from gastric ulcers and other gastrointestinal diseases people can eat 1 clove of garlic, serious people are best not to eat raw garlic.
