Why You Should Consider Eating Raw Garlic Daily

Raw garlic is known for its strong flavor and numerous health benefits, mainly due to allicin, a sulfur compound that is most potent when garlic is raw. Some of its benefits include:

  1. Heart Health: Raw garlic may help lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
  2. Boosting Immunity: Garlic is rich in antioxidants and may help reduce inflammation, supporting the immune system and potentially preventing colds.
  3. Cancer Prevention: Some studies suggest garlic may lower the risk of certain cancers, including prostate and lung cancer.
  4. Digestive Health: Raw garlic can improve gut health by reducing harmful bacteria and may help fight infections.

However, there are drawbacks to raw garlic, such as its strong odor and potential to irritate the digestive system, especially for those with acid reflux. It’s also important for people on blood thinners to consult a doctor before consuming large amounts of garlic, as it can increase the risk of bleeding. Moderation is key—around 1 to 2 cloves a day is generally recommended for health benefits, but more should be avoided, as excessive consumption can be toxic. Cooking garlic can reduce its potency but may prevent digestive issues.
