With certainty, garlic is one of the healthiest foods in the world due to the abundance of healthy nutrients beneficial for the overall health. Garlic should be consumed on a daily basis since it can prevent and treat a vast number of health problems such as liver diseases, baldness, clogged arteries, colds, flu, respiratory problems, etc.
Interestingly, Egyptians used to chew raw garlic in order to obtain its potent antibiotic and medicinal properties, which they needed while working on the pyramids. Garlic contains allicin, a compound whose effect is enhanced when it is crushed and destroyed when you cook the garlic.
Allicin is the most powerful ingredient in garlic. What’s more, the potency of garlic could be optimized when garlic is crushed. However, the effect is not the same when you cook it, since some of its properties get lost. Therefore, crush a garlic clove, leave it like that for 15 minutes and then eat it. Add some vegetable oil and parsley to remove the bad odor.
Probably, you have heard that some people put garlic under their pillows before going to sleep, but did you know the reason for this? Some people believe that this practice could improve sleep significantly. Moreover, other people hold garlic in their pockets for good luck.
Additionally, a lot of people rub pants and pots with garlic to eliminate negativity that might have contaminated the food. Therefore, simply put a garlic clove under your pillow or in your pocket. Hence, your sleep will improve and all negative energy around you will be suppressed!
