What do experts say?
Actually, Famous Ayurvedic doctor Salim Zaidi has shared a video on his Instagram handle. In this video, the doctor has mentioned 3 such things, with which eating garlic can be dangerous. Especially doing so can have a very bad effect on your liver and digestion. Let’s know what these 3 things are and why experts recommend not eating garlic with them.
Do not eat garlic with these things
Number 1- Blood-thinning medicines with blood thinning drugs
Doctor Zaidi explains, garlic has naturally thinning properties. In such a situation, if you are taking any kind of blood thinning medicines, then excessive intake of garlic can increase the risk of bleeding. A study found that consuming these drugs with garlic can increase the risk of bleeding. Therefore, if you are taking such medicines, do not forget to consume garlic with them.
Number 2- With alcohol (Alcohol)
According to the doctor, eating garlic before or after alcohol can affect the liver. The combination of compounds and alcohol present in garlic can affect the functionality of the liver, as well as cause problems in digestion. Consuming garlic with alcohol can cause many digestive problems like stomach irritation, indigestion, acid reflux. Therefore, these two should be avoided together.
Green tea with green tea
Apart from all this, doctors recommend not eating garlic before drinking green or after some time. Doctor Zaidi says, garlic and green tea are beneficial for your health, but should avoid taking both together. Green tea contains caffeine and other active compounds, which can cause stomach irritation and acidity together with garlic. Compounds present in both can affect the digestive system together, causing gas, indigestion and stomach discomfort.
