What are the benefits of eating garlic for a long time?
Garlic has the functions of sterilization, disinfestation, detoxification and antisepsis. Garlic can be sliced, mashed or squeezed. Garlic contains a strong bactericidal allicin, which can kill many kinds of germs. Eating fresh garlic every day and persisting for a long time can greatly enhance human immunity and play a role in preventing and treating diseases. Researchers have long found that raw garlic can stimulate the intestinal tract to produce enzymes, thus eliminating carcinogens in the intestinal tract. However, researchers are not sure how many enzymes need to be produced to be effective. Foreign researchers let mice eat allicin, a substance contained in raw garlic, which is said to contain the most abundant anticancer substances. The results show that raw garlic can produce this enzyme, but previous studies have found that human beings must eat raw garlic equal to their own weight to be effective. But they now find that an effective intake of about half a grain of raw garlic every day is equally effective. Besides, garlic is best eaten raw. If you cook it before eating it, it will definitely be eight times more than raw. However, if you eat too much garlic for a long time, especially people with eye diseases and people who often have fever, hot flashes and night sweats, it will have adverse effects. Some people eat too much garlic for a long time, and when they are 50 or 60 years old, they will gradually feel blurred vision, decreased vision, tinnitus, dry mouth, top-heavy and memory loss. This is the result of long-term addiction to garlic, so there is a saying among the people that eating garlic alone is beneficial and harmful to the eyes. Chinese medicine attaches great importance to taboos, and believes that patients with eye diseases must avoid irritating foods such as garlic, onion, onion, ginger and pepper during the treatment, otherwise it will affect the curative effect. For example, some patients with eye diseases are treated with traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and magnetic therapy. Spicy food such as garlic can't be avoided, and the effect is often poor.
