Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving Size: 1–2 cloves daily on an empty stomach.
Storage: Keep fresh garlic bulbs in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid refrigerating whole bulbs.
Tip: Pre-crushed garlic loses potency quickly; always prepare fresh right before eating.
Variations:
Honey Coating: Drizzle a little raw honey over chopped garlic for a milder flavor and added antibacterial benefits.
Garlic-Lemon Shot: Mix crushed garlic with a squeeze of lemon juice for a powerful morning detox shot.
Smoothie Boost: Blend a small amount into a green smoothie to mask the strong taste while keeping the benefits.
FAQ:
Q: Can I eat more than 2 cloves?
A: It’s best to start small. Too much raw garlic can irritate your stomach. 1–2 cloves are generally enough for health benefits.
Q: Does cooking garlic have the same effects?
A: Cooking reduces some of garlic’s potent compounds like allicin. For maximum benefits, it’s better to consume it raw.
Q: How soon will I notice health improvements?
A: Some people notice increased energy and improved digestion within a week, but long-term benefits come with consistent use.
Q: What if I can’t handle the taste?
A: Try the honey or smoothie variations, or chop it into very small pieces and swallow quickly with water.
