Eating garlic often has the effect of relieving food and regulating qi, strengthening stomach and nourishing stomach. At the same time, it's also a pure natural antibacterial food. How can we eat garlic to kill bacteria? Let's have a look
The first step is to eat raw before sterilization
"The reason why garlic has such an excellent effect," explained Li Changping, deputy director of Nutrition Department of Beijing hospital, "is that it contains allinine and alliinase, two effective substances. Once crushed, they come into contact with each other to form allicin. Allicin has a strong bactericidal effect, but it will lose its effect when it is hot, so eating raw garlic is better than cooked garlic. '
The second step is mashing, not chopping
Therefore, if you want to achieve the best health care effect, it's better to mash garlic instead of cutting it with a knife. And to put 10-15 minutes, let allicin and alliinase combine in the air to produce allicin before eating. So it's a healthy way to mix cold dishes with garlic, vinegar and a little sesame oil when eating dumplings.
The traditional food of our country - Laba garlic pickled by vinegar and sugar in Laba Festival of northern people, the finished garlic is light green and has a complete taste of sour, sweet and spicy, which can relieve dry mouth and increase appetite. Garlic is rich in vitamins. It is good for health when combined with acetic acid.
Roasted garlic
For people with weak constitution and weak stomach and intestines, they can properly eat some cooked garlic, such as braised garlic. People who eat barbecue in summer like to roast garlic on the stove while it's hot. This kind of cooked garlic has almost no odor. It tastes like a white fruit and tastes good. However, the sterilization and disinfection effect of this kind of garlic should be greatly reduced.
Garlic has many functions, but its taste is pungent. The taste in the mouth is very unpleasant. People who have eaten garlic can drink milk. If they leave the milk in the mouth for a period of time, they can eliminate the taste of garlic. The daily consumption of garlic should not be too much. It's OK to eat one clove raw, but not more than three cloves cooked. Eating too much is not good for the stomach and eyes.
