“Is black garlic bad for body？””Eating black garlic may hurt your stomach?”　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Is there anyone who is wondering like this?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　We will answer questions about the safety of such black garlic.

□ Safety of black garlic

I think there are many people who have had a stomachache after eating raw garlic.
Therefore, you may think that black garlic is also not very good for your stomach.
But that would be an incorrect idea.

Raw garlic is a food that is highly irritating and has a strong bactericidal effect.
If you eat the raw garlic without heating it, the intestinal environment may become rough and you may have diarrhea.
It also kills bad bacteria in the intestines, but it can also kill good bacteria that don’t need to be killed together.

This is due to the ingredient called allicin contained in raw garlic.
Allicin is also the cause of the strong pungent odor of raw garlic.

“Black garlic is made from raw garlic.”
You would think this way.

However, in reality, allicin is transformed into a component called S-allylcysteine during the process of making black garlic.
Black garlic has a significantly reduced content of allicin, which disturbs the intestinal environment, so it can be said that it has no side effects such as diarrhea.
You can enjoy it as it is with confidence.

□ International standard to prove the safety of black garlic

The safety of black garlic has been proven worldwide.
Proven by world standards is a great relief because it is a recently developed food.
Here, we will explain the food safety standard called FSSC 22000 that we have acquired.

FSSC 22000 stands for Food Safety System Certification and is one of the food safety management systems.
An international standard developed by the Dutch food safety certification body based on ISO 22000.
In order to work on food safety measures on a global scale, it is an important purpose to disseminate it in all fields around the world.

It is unique in that it covers many food safety standards that exist in the food supply chain.
Certification registration is on a manufacturing site basis.
It will also be a standard approved by GFSI.

GFSI stands for Global Food Safety Initiative and is an organization to which major world-famous distribution and food companies such as Aeon, Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Danone France and Tesco UK join.
From this, you can see that it is a very reliable global standard.

By acquiring FSSC 22000 certification, the following effects can be expected.
・ Reducing risks related to the safe provision of food
・ Smooth work transfer by visualizing work
・ Improvement of operational efficiency and strengthening of organizational structure
・ Improvement of corporate value by continuous improvement of business efficiency
・ Promotion of compliance
・ Achievement of transaction requirements including overseas companies

It would be a very meaningful certification for a company.
It is also a standard for consumers to ensure safety.
I’m sure many of you didn’t know this, so you may want to take this opportunity to wonder if you have the FSSC 22000.

□ People who should not eat black garlic

As I’ve introduced, black garlic isn’t bad for you.
Its safety is guaranteed by international standards.
However, some people should not eat black garlic.
It’s a rare case, so don’t worry too much about it, but keep it in mind.

＊People taking certain medications

There are some prescribed medicines that are difficult to swallow with black garlic.
This is because it is possible that the action of black garlic, which is originally considered to be good for the body, may work as an unexpected action in relation to the drug.
The drugs include diabetes drugs, anti-HIV drugs, oral contraceptives and immunosuppressive drugs.

Primarily due to the health benefits of black garlic, the drug may not work well or may be counteracted.
Don’t worry too much, as nothing serious will happen.

＊People with garlic allergies

If you have ever had an allergic reaction to garlic or have been diagnosed with garlic allergy, you should not eat black garlic.
The reason is that even black garlic can cause an allergic reaction.
If you are not sure if you are allergic, you can tell if you have symptoms such as urticaria, bronchial asthma, or atopic dermatitis.
In severe cases, anaphylactic shock occurs.

＊A person whose black garlic was stopped by a doctor

Be careful of those who have been stopped by a doctor because of a disease being treated.
We recommend that you ask your doctor each time you have a dietary restriction.

□ Summary

Black garlic is not harmful to the body and its safety is guaranteed by international standards.
However, be aware that some people should not eat black garlic.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

There are many people who are worried about dieting.
No matter how many times you try a diet, you can’t lose weight, and you don’t know the diet method that suits you.
In fact, black garlic has a dieting effect.
If you are worried about dieting, please refer to it.

□Diet method

There is a lot of information about dieting in the world.
You will need to choose one that works for you and one that is less burdensome and can be continued.
Successful dieting depends on whether you are on a diet that suits you.
Finding the right diet method for you will be the key to success.

In order to find a diet method that suits you, it is important to collect information first.
Find the perfect one from them.
To that end, here are four dieting methods.

＊Diet to reduce calorie intake

It’s a way to lose weight by limiting your diet and reducing the calories you consume.
It reduces subcutaneous fat by significantly lowering the calories burned.

One of the dieting methods used in this way is a dieting method that replaces one meal.
All you have to do is replace one of your daily meals with a diet drink.
It is popular because it is easy to get started and the calorie intake can be reliably reduced.
We also recommend it because there are many products that are rich in nutrients.

A carbohydrate-free diet is also one of the diets that reduces calorie intake.
This is a diet that removes carbohydrates from each meal.
One thing to keep in mind when doing this is that you will consume calories from other ingredients as much as you remove the carbohydrates.

How to reduce calorie intake can lead to a lack of nutrients needed per day.
Doing so will cause you to feel unwell.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　It is advisable to support nutrients with supplements.　　

＊How to increase calories burned

It’s a way to lose weight by consuming more calories a day.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　As a general rule, you consume more calories than you consume in a day.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Therefore, more time and effort will be required.

The first example is jogging and dieting.
Jogging is a whole-body exercise that can burn a lot of calories.
People who are not very accustomed to running may drop out on the way.

The second is swimming and dieting.
Similar to jogging, it is an exercise that uses the whole body and can be expected to consume high calories.
The characteristic of the swimming diet is that the calories burned differ depending on how you swim.

A diet method that consumes more calories will help you to lose weight quickly, but it will take time and effort.
Recommended for those who really want to try a diet so that they can lose weight in a short period of time.
Every diet will test your patience.
We recommend that you choose the one that suits you.

□ Effect of black garlic on diet

“I heard that black garlic is very good for your health, but is it also effective for weight loss?”
Some of you may be wondering like this.

The answer is, “Black garlic burns fat effectively when combined with exercise.”
Eating only black garlic does not help you lose weight, but exercising together will help you burn fat.

The reason why black garlic promotes fat burning is still under study.
However, since black garlic has only good effects on the body, it may be good to eat it with the expectation of a dieting effect.

□ Timing to eat black garlic

When should you eat black garlic, a healthy superfood, to be most effective?
The timing of eating is important even on a diet.

Black garlic basically has the same effect no matter when you eat it.
Since it is a natural food, the timing of taking it is not as strict as medicine.
However, there are characteristics depending on the timing of eating, so I will introduce it.

First of all, if you want to get rid of the tiredness of the day, eat black garlic at night.
Vitamin B1 contained in black garlic is effective in relieving fatigue.

If you want to use it as energy for the day, we recommend eating it in the morning.
In the morning, it will be easy to get into the habit with breakfast.

And if you expect a diet effect, eat it before exercising.
It not only has a fat burning effect, but also provides energy before exercise.

□ Summary

Although the detailed cause is under study, it was found that black garlic supports fat burning when combined with exercise.
For those who are worried about dieting, we hope that this article will be of some help to you.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　

Black garlic is delicious to eat as it is, but some people may want some change in taste.
For those who think that way, this time we will introduce black garlic and ingredients that are good to eat.
Please refer to it and discover something that goes well with you.

□ Characteristics of the taste of black garlic

The black garlic has a very impressive black appearance.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　It looks and tastes very different from raw garlic.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Here, we will introduce the characteristics of the taste of black garlic.

Black garlic is garlic that has been aged for about a month in a well-managed, hot and humid environment.
The blackness of black garlic is not due to additives or coloring agents, but is a discoloration during the aging process.
And the cause of this discoloration is thought to be the Maillard reaction.

To give a little explanation about the Maillard reaction, this is a chemical reaction between sugars and amino acids.
It is caused by the combination of sugar and protein, which is an amino acid, to form melanoidin.
Dark-colored bread ears, miso, coffee, etc. are also discolored by the same Maillard reaction.

Raw garlic has a strong, unique spiciness and a pungent odor.
If you eat a lot of raw garlic, you will be worried about the smell of the next day.
On the other hand, the black garlic that has undergone the Maillard reaction does not have its peculiar odor.
Rather, it will turn into a sweet and sour scent.

Also, its taste is very high in sugar content and sweet.
Combined with its smooth texture, it is often said to be like dried fruit.

Black garlic has a change in taste and aroma that cannot be imagined from raw garlic.
Therefore, it may not be compatible with the same ingredients as raw garlic.
Find ingredients that are easy to eat with black garlic, which is characterized by its sweetness.

□ Ingredients that are good to eat with black garlic

According to one theory, black garlic was developed in Mie prefecture in 1999.
Therefore, it can be said that the history is very short.
You can eat black garlic as it is, but there are endless possibilities for eating it together.
Here, we will introduce two ingredients that are good to eat with black garlic.
Please, try it.

The first is black garlic and cheese.
Cheese is a fermented food, so it doesn’t quarrel with black garlic and goes great with it.
It is recommended to cut black garlic into a suitable size and put it on thinly sliced cheese to eat.
You can also use it as a snack for evening drinks.

In fact, black garlic is the best companion for evening drinks.
When you drink alcohol, your liver breaks down alcohol, doesn’t it?
If you drink more than the pace of decomposition, triglycerides will accumulate and your liver will weaken.
Moreover, when triglycerides and active oxygen are combined, they will be transformed into a harmful substance called lipid peroxide.

Black garlic has the function of removing active oxygen.
Therefore, it makes sense to eat black garlic as a snack while drinking.

The second is black garlic and natto.
Natto is also a fermented food.
It’s very easy to make. All you have to do is mix the natto that you always mix and eat with a small piece of black garlic.
The sweetness of natto and the sweetness of black garlic go well together.

□ How to eat black garlic

Black garlic is delicious to eat as it is, but some people may be tired of eating it as it is or want to change it.

*Salad and pasta toppings

The first is to chop black garlic into small pieces and use it as a topping for salads and pasta.
The black color, which is a characteristic of black garlic, will accent the dishes and make them look good.
The sweet and sour taste is also useful as a seasoning.

*Mix with stir fry or cake

Black garlic contains fat-soluble nutrients.
Therefore, it goes well with oil.
Taking advantage of compatibility, it can be used for cooking stir-fried foods and cakes.

In the case of stir-fry, it can be used as garlic butter in stir-fry oil.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The whole dish will have umami and richness.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　You can take advantage of the unique goodness of black garlic.　

And, as you might be surprised, some people mix black garlic as an ingredient in pound cake.
The point is to chop it into small pieces and mix.

Please discover it yourself.

□ Summary

I would be very happy if I could eat black garlic and rejuvenate.
In fact, black garlic can be expected to have various effects that prevent aging.
Please take advantage of black garlic, which is called a natural supplement.

□ What is the cause of aging?

Have you heard about reactive oxygen species?
Reactive oxygen is a part of oxygen taken into the body by breathing necessary for living, and it is more activated oxygen.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Active oxygen produced by white blood cells protects the body from invisible viruses.

Reactive oxygen species have such a strong effect that they repel viruses, so if there is too much active oxygen in the body, it will also oxidize your own proteins and DNA.
Excessive active oxygen is the cause of aging.
Therefore, active oxygen is necessary to maintain a healthy state, but it is important to adjust it to an appropriate amount to prevent aging.

Active oxygen is a problem if it increases too much, but why does it increase excessively?
Reactive oxygen species are produced as long as you breathe, but there are other factors that cause overproduction.
There are six main reasons for this.

・ Smoking cigarettes　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　・ Aging　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　・ Be exposed to a lot of ultraviolet rays　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　・ Daily stress　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　・ Exhaust gas and air pollution　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　・ Intake of food additives

n addition, when you get sick, white blood cells become active.
At the same time, a lot of active oxygen will be produced.

Reactive oxygen species are overproduced by various things in daily life.
Be especially careful if you smoke or have an unhealthy diet.
You can change some habits consciously.
We recommend that you refrain from smoking, eat more naturally derived foods, and devise ways to moderately relieve your daily stress.

□ What is the effect of black garlic on people in their 30s and 40s?

As explained above, the main cause of aging was due to reactive oxygen species.
It is important to adjust the increased amount of active oxygen to an appropriate amount.
It is necessary to remove other than active oxygen necessary for maintaining physical health.

The ability to remove active oxygen is called antioxidant activity.
In other words, antioxidant action is an important action to prevent aging of the body.

The reason why black garlic is effective in preventing aging is this antioxidant effect.
According to Dr. Jinichi Sasaki, who is famous for his research on black garlic, 114.9 milligrams of raw garlic is required to remove 50% of active oxygen.
On the other hand, in the case of black garlic, the amount is very small, 7.3 milligrams.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Black garlic has a powerful function of removing active oxygen.

By removing active oxygen with black garlic, you can expect to reduce the dryness of hair, which is a problem for people in their 30s and 40s, and to restore firmness to the skin.

Black garlic also contains allithiamine, a component that regulates the hormone balance.
Therefore, it can be said that it is effective for those who are suffering from menopause and poor circulation.

□ Effect of black garlic on maintaining cognitive function

Black garlic is famous for its health benefits and anti-aging benefits.
Many people eat it in anticipation of those effects.
In fact, such black garlic is also effective in maintaining cognitive function.

A component called S-allylcysteine is said to be effective in maintaining cognitive function.
It has been reported that S-allylcysteine protects brain cells and promotes neurite growth.
Specifically, it has the following five effects.

・ Promotes reduction of amyloid β protein
・ Prevents runaway and accumulation of tau protein
・ Promotes the regeneration of nerve cells in the hippocampus, which controls memory in the brain
・ Suppresses the runaway of microglia, which are immune cells in the brain
・ Antioxidant action maintains blood flow and keeps brain cells healthy

It will have the above important effects.
Although it has such a healthy effect, it does not have any demerit effect.
There is a blood-brain barrier in the body that eliminates even the slightest danger, but S-allylcysteine passes through it.
In short, S-allylcysteine has also been proven safe by the body’s system.

Try black garlic, which is rich in S-allylcysteine, which is said to be effective in maintaining cognitive function.

□ Summary

Black garlic has antioxidant properties that remove the active oxygen that causes aging.
By continuing to eat black garlic, you can expect the hair to become shiny and the skin to rejuvenate.
You also found that S-allylcysteine, which is contained in black garlic, has various effects.
I hope you find this article helpful.
