Garlic is a highly irritating food. Excessive consumption of raw onions and garlic will irritate the mouth and stomach, which is harmful to health. You can eat a few peanuts to relieve it. It is best to add a little vinegar before eating.

Under normal circumstances, eating too much garlic will cause the following harms:

1. Stomach damage. It is true that garlic can warm the body and strengthen the stomach, and its ability to promote digestion is unquestionable. However, if you eat too much garlic, it will irritate the stomach and cause damage to the gastric mucosa. In mild cases, you will have a burning sensation, and in severe cases, it will directly lead to stomach pain and diarrhea. This is not worth the gain, so no matter how much you love to eat, you should eat it in moderation.

2. Aggravate eye diseases. As the saying goes, "Garlic cures all diseases but harms one eye." Eating too much garlic can aggravate eye diseases and cause inflammation. In severe cases, it can also be accompanied by tinnitus and other symptoms. Therefore, if you have eye diseases, you should try to eat less or not eat garlic.

3. Aggravate liver disease. As we all know, garlic has a very good bactericidal effect, but garlic is hot in nature and people with strong liver fire cannot eat it properly, which will increase the burden on the liver. Not only does it not help the liver detoxify, it actually makes the liver fire more intense.

4. Cause anemia. Eating too much garlic may also cause anemia, because some of its elements can reduce the content of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the body. In severe cases, it can cause anemia. People who are already anemic should eat less.

5. Cause bad breath. Eating a lot of garlic can leave a lingering garlic smell in your mouth. If you often have social activities or often interact with others, you should stay away from garlic. At the same time, carry chewing gum or xylitol with you to relieve bad breath, just in case you need it.

In short, there are really many "minefields" for eating too much garlic. It is usually best to mash garlic into foam and leave it for a period of time. Generally, it is best for normal people to eat one clove raw and three cloves cooked every day. Only by eating the right amount can the magical effects of garlic be maximized.
