Q: Why should garlic be eaten on an empty stomach?
A: On an empty stomach, the body absorbs allicin—garlic’s main active compound—more effectively, boosting its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Q: Can I swallow garlic instead of chewing it?
A: Yes, but chewing or crushing activates beneficial enzymes. Swallowing whole cloves may reduce the impact.
Q: Will garlic make my breath smell all day?
A: Possibly, but following up with lemon water or chewing fresh parsley can help reduce the odor.
Q: Is it safe to consume garlic daily?
A: In moderate amounts, yes. Excessive intake may lead to digestive upset or thinning blood, especially if you're on certain medications.
Q: Who should avoid raw garlic?
A: Individuals with ulcers, acid reflux, or on blood-thinning medication should consult a healthcare provider first.
