The worst mistakes when consuming garlic."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/www.grandmothers-recipes.top\/8e319116-e540-4ba0-b5d9-84ed80b4b05b\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garlic is one of the most powerful foods we can incorporate into our daily diet. With properties that help control blood pressure, strengthen the immune system and prevent chronic diseases, it is considered by many to be a true natural remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, its incorrect consumption can negate much of its benefits or even cause side effects such as heartburn, bad breath or stomach discomfort. Here we explain the most frequent mistakes and how to correct them so that garlic truly fulfills its function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;<strong>Swallow the tooth whole<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When garlic is consumed without being crushed or cut, allicin, the compound responsible for its main therapeutic effects, is not activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to correct it:<\/strong><br>Always chop, grate or crush garlic before ingesting it. Then, wait 3 to 5 minutes before using it to allow the enzymes to trigger the formation of allicin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;<strong>Overcooking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intense heat (more than 60 \u00b0C) destroys much of the allicin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to correct it:<\/strong><br>Add raw garlic to cooked dishes or saut\u00e9 it over very low heat for no more than 3 minutes, and always at the end of preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;<strong>Consuming it on an empty stomach without knowing your tolerance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raw garlic on an empty stomach can cause burning, pain, or bloating in sensitive individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to correct it:<\/strong><br>Eat it with other foods, such as salads, soups or sauces, to reduce gastric irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.&nbsp;<strong>Using incorrect doses (too little or too much)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A very small amount may have no effect, and too much can cause digestive upset or body odor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to correct it:<\/strong><br>An adequate amount is 1 medium tooth per day if you&#8217;re sensitive, or up to 2 teeth if your body tolerates it well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.&nbsp;<strong>Choose old or spoiled garlic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soft, wrinkled, or spotted bulbs lose much of their active compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to correct it:<\/strong><br>I chose firm heads, uniform white. You can also opt for black garlic, which has a higher concentration of antioxidants. Store it in a dry and ventilated place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.&nbsp;<strong>Ignoring blood-thinning drug interactions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garlic can enhance the effect of drugs such as warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to correct it:<\/strong><br>If you are on blood thinners, consult your doctor before consuming it regularly. It is also recommended to stop consuming it at least 5 days before a scheduled surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.&nbsp;<strong>Relying solely on low-quality capsules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many supplements do not contain enough active ingredients or have unwanted additives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to fix it:<\/strong><br>Prioritize fresh garlic. If you opt for capsules, check their origin, composition and if they guarantee a standardized dose of allicin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have to remove the green sprout from garlic?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not necessary for health, but it can influence the taste. The central bud may give a slight bitterness. If you find it unpleasant or cause heartburn, you can remove it without any problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips and recommendations for consuming garlic correctly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chop or crush the garlic and let it sit for a few minutes before using.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add it at the end of cooking to preserve its properties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Combine it with foods rich in vitamin C such as lemon, tomato or parsley, which improves the absorption of its compounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consume between 1 and 2 cloves a day according to your tolerance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store the bulbs in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated place to maintain their active qualities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumed properly, garlic can become an indispensable ally in your kitchen and in your daily health. A natural, economical and effective way to take care of your body from the plate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garlic is one of the most powerful foods we can incorporate into our daily diet.
