Garlic has long been popular as a medicine, and it is still famous for being eaten as a health food for the purpose of recovering stamina.

A lot of research has been done about the high health effect, and much attention is drawn from many people.
We introduce the effect of such raw garlic this time.

■ With the effect of raw garlic

・ Fatigue recovery action

Speaking of garlic, I think there is an image called stamina.

The unique ingredients of garlic, scordinin and allicin, have the power to increase the absorption efficiency of vitamin B1, which is essential for producing energy.

·antioxidant effect

Many diseases are caused by the activation enzymes in the body that cause the cells to be abolished.
It also contains polyphenols that have strong antioxidant activity to eliminate activated enzymes.

Therefore, garlic is also recommended for anti-aging and disease prevention.

・ Antithrombotic action

Garlic also works to make blood smooth.
It clogs blood vessels and prevents them from making platelets that lead to vascular diseases such as myocardial infarction.
This is the function of achiol trisulfide and ajoene contained in garlic.
This effect is the basis of effects such as blood flow promotion, hypertension control, and vascular disease prevention in garlic.

■ With the side effects and cautions of raw garlic

As such, it is effective in many ways, but it also has side effects.

・ Stomachache

Garlic can be irritating if eaten raw and the stomach wall may be damaged.
Heating will weaken the stimulation, but if you are hungry, be aware of your intake.

・ Stomachache ・ Diarrhea

Garlic has a strong germicidal action.
Therefore, there is a risk that even good bacteria will be removed. Therefore, you should still be aware of your intake if you are weak.

·smell

Garlic odor is caused by the fact that the originally odorless Alliin ingredient is turned into an allicin that emits an odor when grated.

Allicin is sensitive to heat, so if you smell it, you should heat it.
However, allicin is not degraded when it is heated with oil.

As a measure against odor, it is recommended that you eat meat and fish containing protein and lipid that wraps up allicin and weakens its action together with green tea containing powerful deodorant catechin.
