Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Garlic (Cooked)
Metabolic Effect: Cooked garlic strengthens the immune system thanks to the allicin it contains and protects cells with its antioxidant properties. It has a blood sugar regulating effect and facilitates digestion.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming cooked garlic with meals or in salads both enhances its flavor and preserves its benefits. When consumed by mixing with yogurt, its probiotic effect increases.
Things to Consider: One clove of garlic meets a small portion of the daily vitamin C requirement. However, excessive consumption can cause stomach discomfort. The benefits of cooked garlic are slightly less than raw garlic.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one serving of cooked garlic, it is sufficient to walk at a light pace for about 6 minutes. Alternatively, 2.5 minutes of brisk running can provide the same effect.
