Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Garlic

Metabolic Effect: Garlic strengthens the immune system and protects the body against infections thanks to the allicin it contains. It also has blood pressure lowering and cholesterol balancing effects.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming garlic raw allows you to get the maximum benefit from the beneficial components it contains. However, raw garlic consumption may cause stomach upset in some people. Cooked garlic is also beneficial, but it can lead to the loss of some vitamins and enzymes.
Things to Consider: One clove of garlic contains approximately 4 calories and has a strong aroma. Excessive consumption can lead to problems such as heartburn, gas and bloating. Consumption of 1-2 cloves of garlic per day is usually sufficient.
Exercise Equivalent: It is enough to walk at a light pace for about 1 minute to burn the calories you get from a clove of garlic. However, the benefits of garlic are not limited to burning calories, it supports your general health.
