When Not to eat Garlic: Garlic is found in almost every Indian kitchen. Apart from enhancing the taste of food, garlic is also considered very beneficial for health. It has many medicinal properties, which can benefit you in many ways.
However, if garlic is not consumed properly, these benefits can also turn into disadvantages. Consuming garlic especially with some things can increase serious problems. Let us know about this from health experts-
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 this can have a very bad effect on your liver and digestion. Let us know what are these 3 things and why experts advise not to eat garlic with them.
Do not eat garlic with these things
Number 1- With blood-thinning medications
Doctor Zaidi explains, garlic has natural blood thinning properties. In such a situation, if you are taking any blood thinning medicines, then excessive consumption of garlic can increase the risk of bleeding. One study found that taking these medicines with garlic may increase the risk of bleeding. Therefore, if you are taking such medicines, do not forget to consume garlic with them.
Number 2- With Alcohol
According to the doctor, eating garlic before or after alcohol can affect the liver. The combination of compounds present in garlic and alcohol can affect liver function, as well as cause problems with digestion. Consuming garlic with alcohol can cause many digestive problems like stomach irritation, indigestion, acid reflux. Therefore, consuming these two together should be avoided.
With Green Tea
Apart from all this, doctors advise not to eat garlic before or after drinking green. Doctor Zaidi says, garlic and green tea are beneficial for your health, but taking both together should be avoided. Green tea contains caffeine and other active compounds, which when combined with garlic can cause stomach irritation and acidity. The compounds present in both together can affect the digestive system, causing gas, indigestion and stomach discomfort.
