Garlic packs more than just intense, delicious flavor to your favorite meals. Garlic is a powerhouse of nutrients which are all beneficial to our body. If you suffer from acne, asthma, inflammation, common cold, flu, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes or ear infections – YOU NEED TO EAT RAW GARLIC DAILY. Just 1 clove. 1 clove of raw garlic every day is all it takes to help you on the path of healing. 

What makes raw garlic so beneficial?

Garlic contains alliin and alliinaseacillin within the clove. Once the garlic clove is chopped, crushed, or chewed alliin and alliinaseacillin creat allicin, a defensive compound. Once the garlic is heated/cooked, the allicin fails to exist. If you are interested in learning more on the science of garlic continue reading here. 

I refer to garlic as nature’s penicillin. If you’re sick, garlic is the answer. It’s a powerful antibiotic that is either forgotten or disregarded. Science uses it for their studies on rats and mice and have success. I’m not sure why the average person still favors pills to garlic… garlic is much cheaper and incredibly safer. 

1. Thins out mucus

Mucus is the root cause of several illnesses. Excessive mucus causes the common cold, flu, asthma, allergies, bronchitis, pneumonia, COPD, cystic fibrosis, and gastrointestinal conditions and even lung cancer. The allicin in garlic thins out mucus and helps to remove it from the body. You’ll even see the mucus come out in your urine and stools! Gross but kind of cool! Removing mucus from the body is easily done if you eat raw garlic daily. 

2. kills parasites (in your body)

For starters, if you think you don’t have parasites in your body you are wrong. You have them – everyone has them. If you have touched the ground outside or have eaten meat – you have parasites. Parasites live in your body and thrive off the food you consume. Especially sugar. But I won’t go on about that.

You need to eat raw garlic daily if you want to kill the parasites living inside of you. It is known and proven that allicin kills Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, and Plasmodium species of parasites. These parasites compete directly with the host for available nutrients. That’s you! 

Raw garlic might kill some parasites, but it does not kill all of them. There are several parasite cleanses you may see online, but you only need 3 additional herbs to kill and clease your body of parasites – black walnut, wormwood, and clove. 

3. helps asthma sufferers

Because asthma is inflammation in the airways, garlic is known for helping with inflammation within the body. Therefore, if you suffer from asthma you need to eat raw garlic daily to combat and slowly (but surely!) heal yourself of the disease. 

4. improves gut health

Of course, eating raw garlic daily also improves gut health! Raw garlic is not only an antibiotic but also a prebiotic. It promotes a good, healthy balance of bacteria inside your gut.  

If you are unaware, your gut is essentially the foundation of your health problems. Most issues and illnesses stem from a gut-related imbalance. To ensure you are top-notch, ensure you eat a balance of fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, and drink plenty of water (filtered or spring)! 

5. Purifies the arteries

In ancient Rome, several well-known writers and doctors made references of garlic and its power to purify the arteries. This includes Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, and Dioscorides. Surely enough, modern studies have supported these claims – it does slow the hardening of the arteries. 

Eating raw garlic daily, combined with a eating a colorful diet of fruits and vegetables, can keep your cardiovascular system in great health! 

eating raw garlic daily is vital to your health

Raw garlic is a longevity food, meaning regularly consuming it will lead to a longer (and of course a happier life). Garlic is one of the 11 foods I recommend eating daily to live to 100! Here is a full list of all longevity foods. 

For reference, I chop or mince garlic and add it to the top of our food – it’s the final ingredient added to our meals every day. I eat just one clove daily unless I feel more stuffy than usual, then I may eat 2. 

Raw garlic compliments literally every savory dish – tacos, rice bowls, pasta – you name it!

Disclaimer – I am not a doctor nor do I practice medicine. I research health foods, their benefits, and I test them out for myself. Of the many things I’ve tried, raw garlic is necessary to eat daily. However, please consult your doctor or a healthcare professional before adding raw garlic to yor diet, as it may have side effects for you.

Blessings!
