How To Use Garlic
It’s better to eat garlic raw, since it’s
active ingredient, allicin, is denationalized by heat. For best results, crush
and chop up the clove and leave it for 15 minutes before eating. Crushing the
bulb activates a chemical reaction that make allicin more bioavailable.
As for why you should eat it on an empty
stomach, it’s quite simple really: When your stomach is overwhelmed with food,
it can be harder for your body to process and absorb all the nutrients the food
has to offer.

Take 2-3 cloves of garlic and chop them into
small pieces.
Mix it with a spoonful of honey.
Eat this mixture every day and you’ll feel
more energized and healthy within a week.
