Garlic is good for eating raw. Patients with enteritis should not eat more garlic.

　　Garlic has many functions such as preventing cancer and sterilizing. If you want to take advantage of the therapeutic effects of garlic, you only need to eat 2-3 capsules of raw garlic every day. If the garlic is cooked, it will take 8 times more than if eaten raw, and the effect will be greatly reduced. Although garlic is best eaten raw, it should not be taken on an empty stomach. It is best to take it once a day or every other day.

　　Garlic is afraid of both heat and salt. It will completely or partially lose its activity when exposed to heat or salt. Therefore, garlic should be eaten raw; it is best to mash the garlic into a puree instead of cutting it into pieces with a knife; the garlic paste should be left at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to allow alliin and alliinase to fully combine in the air to produce allicin before consumption, which has the best effect.

　　Experts believe that the main reason why garlic has so many beneficial effects is that it contains two effective substances, alliin and alliinase. These two ingredients are respectively present in the cells of fresh garlic. As long as the garlic is crushed and brought into contact with each other, a colorless, oily liquid, allicin, will be produced.

　　Patients with enteritis should not eat raw garlic. Because the local mucosal tissue in the intestine has been inflamed, raw garlic is highly irritating and will cause further congestion and edema of the blood vessels in the intestinal wall, causing more tissue fluid to enter the intestine, aggravating the diarrhea . People suffering from eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, conjunctivitis, stye, dry eye, etc. are best to eat less. Garlic is pungent and warm in nature and flavor. Eating too much will not only easily lead to liver and blood deficiency and lack of nourishment for the eyes, but will also increase fire damage to the eyes and aggravate eye diseases.
