How to Use Garlic

The active compound in garlic is allicin which is denaturalized when you use the ingredient in cooked foods. That is why the best way to benefit from its properties is to consume it raw. Crush and finely chop the clove and let it sit for 15 minutes before eating it. During this time the allicin will become more bioavailable.

Always remember to eat garlic on an empty stomach. When the stomach is already filled with food, the body is not able to absorb all the nutrients.

Garlic and honey

Garlic fights fungal, viral and bacterial infections, working as a natural antibiotic. Honey also has antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial properties, so when you combine the two ingredients, you get a powerful treatment for flu, colds, and sore throat.

When it’s infused with honey, garlic becomes more palatable and even tasty. Chop 2-3 cloves and mix them with a spoonful of honey. When you notice the first signs of flu, cold or a sore throat, start taking honey infused with garlic and also try to eat one clove at every two hours for the first day, then decrease the amount to two cloves per day.

Prepare a jar with this mixture and keep it in the fridge for when the cold season sets in. You can eat the honey infused garlic after a few days, and it tastes even better over time.
