Garlic is always useful and is often recommended by experts for boosting immunity and for a number of other health benefits. Scientists have found that eating garlic on an empty stomach increases its effectiveness as a natural antibiotic. This is because bacteria are readily available when food is lacking in the stomach and cannot be protected from “terrible garlic”. Of course, before you start eating garlic on an empty stomach, you need to make sure you do not have stomach problems. Garlic contains about 400 active substances, is rich in vitamins and minerals: adenosine, allicin, amino acids, fiber, vegetable fats, vitamin A, vitamin B1 and B2, vitamin C, iron, enzymes, essential oils, iodine, potassium, calcium, selenium, sulfur and phosphorus. Garlic has disinfectant, antibacterial and fungicidal activities that are often better than those of the best antibiotics. The most important ingredient in garlic is achoinite, which works better than aspirin. With regular use, garlic stimulates circulation and facilitates blood flow, lowers high blood pressure and blood fats, and protects against heart disease.
