🧄 Get the Maximum Health Benefits From Garlic! This Is How!
Garlic supports heart health, immunity, blood pressure, and more—but only when activated. Crush, mince, or chop it, then let it rest 10–15 minutes to release allicin, its key healing compound. Avoid heating above 140°F to preserve benefits. Raw and cooked garlic both help; supplements are often ineffective due to unstable allicin. Garlic also fights inflammation, infections, and fungi—making it a potent natural remedy.
