In Indian cuisine, garlic is an essential ingredient. Garlic has long been recognised as one of the most effective foods for treating several illnesses and problems outside the kitchen. Garlic is widely recognised for its health-promoting properties, including assisting the circulatory and digestive systems, boosting the immune system, decreasing blood pressure, and preventing heart disease, according to the book Healing Foods. Even the removal of poisons is assisted. Even while raw garlic is a necessary component of our cooking preparations, taking it especially first thing in the morning can have a variety of health advantages.

Shilpa continues, "Studies have also shown that the sulphur components in garlic aid in the destruction of tumour cells.
Natural antibiotics
One of the most powerful natural antibiotics is raw garlic. Garlic's power increases noticeably when it is eaten raw and on an empty stomach. By exposing the bacteria to the potent therapeutic properties of raw garlic, eating it can help stop the action of bacteria in the gut. Sulfur compounds with antibacterial and antifungal properties, such as allicin, allin, and ajeone, are prevalent in garlic. Cold and cough are treated with the aid of their volatile oil and antibacterial components.
Digestion
Consuming raw garlic in the morning increases appetite and digestion. Effective weight loss is supported, among other things, by improved digestion. Consuming raw garlic can help with stomach issues including diarrhoea.
Here's how you can start your day with raw garlic
1. The garlic must be fresh. This is due to the fact that if garlic is left out too long, the allicin components dramatically deteriorate.
2. Peel the skin off one portion of the clove carefully, then store the remaining half of the clove in the fridge.

3. Cut a little piece from the area you peeled. Consuming excessive amounts of garlic on an empty stomach might shock your body and make you ill.
4. Garlic should be swallowed with a full glass of water. Garlic has a distinct pungent flavour, so for some people, chewing it could be too much. It is best to swallow a little bit of it with water. Additionally, lukewarm water in the morning might jump-start metabolism.
