The taboo of eating garlic for health has been sought after by more and more people in recent two years, but there are many ways to keep healthy, but not all of them are suitable for you. We must pay attention to some matters when keeping in good health. This article will tell you the taboos of eating garlic for health.

Eating garlic is forbidden for health. 1

Efficacy and function of garlic

1, anticancer

Foreign studies have found that sulfur-containing compounds in garlic can promote the production of an enzyme or a substance called allicin in the intestine, and eliminate the risk of intestinal tumors caused by intestinal substances by enhancing the body's immune ability, blocking the formation of lipid peroxidation and anti-mutation. However, it is still uncertain how many such enzymes need to be produced to effectively play the anti-tumor role of garlic.

2. Anti-aging effect

Some components in garlic have antioxidant and anti-aging properties similar to those of vitamin E and vitamin C.

3. Anti-fatigue effect

Some people have found that pork is one of the foods rich in vitamin B 1, and the combination of vitamin B 1 and allicin contained in garlic can play a very good role in eliminating fatigue and restoring physical strength.

Mashed food has health care function.

Garlic contains alliin, alliinase and other effective substances, which will contact each other after crushing, thus forming allicin with health care function. Therefore, it is best to mash garlic and eat it, and put it for 10~ 15 minutes before eating, which is beneficial to the production of allicin.

Raw food has good sterilization effect.

During the heating process, the content of organic sulfide that plays an antibacterial role will gradually decrease, and the higher the temperature of healthy diet, the faster the decrease, so cooked garlic can not play a good bactericidal role. It is healthy to mix garlic with cold dishes at home, and to eat jiaozi garlic mixed with vinegar and a little sesame oil.

Pay attention to taboos.

1, which is not suitable for patients with liver disease.

Most people think that garlic can resist bacteria and viruses, so they eat garlic to prevent hepatitis. Some friends even eat garlic every day after suffering from hepatitis. This practice is extremely unfavorable to hepatitis patients, because garlic has little effect on hepatitis virus. On the contrary, some components of garlic can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, inhibit the secretion of intestinal digestive juice and affect food digestion, thus aggravating many symptoms such as nausea of hepatitis patients. In addition, the volatile components of garlic can reduce red blood cells and hemoglobin in blood, and may cause anemia, which is not conducive to the treatment of hepatitis.

2, patients with non-bacterial diarrhea should not eat.

Garlic should not be eaten raw in cases of non-bacterial enteritis and diarrhea. Because there is inflammation in the local mucosal tissue of the intestine, the blood vessels in the intestinal wall are dilated, congested and swollen, and the permeability is increased. A large number of protein, electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, calcium, chlorine, and liquids in body tissues penetrate into the intestinal cavity, and a large number of liquids stimulate the intestinal tract, which accelerates intestinal peristalsis, thus causing abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. If you eat raw garlic again, spicy allicin will stimulate the intestine, aggravate congestion and edema of intestinal mucosa, promote exudation and aggravate the condition. If diarrhea has occurred, garlic should be eaten with caution.

Eating garlic is a taboo for health and is not suitable for people who eat garlic.

1, patients with eye diseases

Chinese medicine believes that eating garlic in large quantities for a long time will "hurt the liver and hurt the eyes." Therefore, patients with eye diseases should try not to eat garlic, especially those with poor health and weak qi and blood. Otherwise, after a long time, their eyesight will decline, tinnitus, top-heavy and memory will decline.

Besides eating less garlic, if you have eye diseases, you'd better eat more eye-catching food. The occurrence of dry eye is related to vitamin A deficiency, so we should eat more foods rich in vitamin A such as animal liver, eggs and milk. In addition, carotene or carotenoids in carrots, tomatoes, spinach and other foods can also be converted into vitamin A in the human body. Some people's eyes are afraid of light, love tears, blurred vision, easy fatigue and other symptoms, which are related to the lack of riboflavin and vitamin B 1 in the body. They should eat more pig hearts, lean meat, green vegetables, eggs, milk, beans, fish, brown rice and so on to supplement. If you have conjunctivitis or sty, you should eat more cool fruits and vegetables such as mung beans, cucumbers, bananas and wax gourd.

2. Patients with liver disease

Many people often eat garlic to prevent hepatitis, and even some people still eat garlic every day after suffering from hepatitis. This practice is extremely unfavorable to hepatitis patients, because garlic has no killing effect on hepatitis virus. On the contrary, some components of garlic can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and inhibit the secretion of intestinal digestive juice, thus aggravating many symptoms such as nausea in patients with hepatitis.

In addition, the volatile components of garlic can reduce red blood cells and hemoglobin in blood, and may cause anemia, which is not conducive to the treatment of hepatitis.

3. Some patients with diarrhea should not eat raw garlic.

When suffering from non-bacterial enteritis and diarrhea, it is not advisable to eat garlic raw. If you eat raw garlic at this time, spicy allicin will stimulate the intestine, aggravate congestion and edema of intestinal mucosa, promote exudation and aggravate the condition. If diarrhea has occurred, garlic should be eaten with caution.

4. Severe patients with other diseases

Eating spicy food such as garlic and pepper is good for healthy people to stay healthy for a long time, but it has obvious side effects on patients who are seriously ill and taking medicine. It will not only make the medicine ineffective, but also have a chain reaction with the medicine, which will aggravate the patient's condition and even endanger his life. In addition, spicy foods that may have a chain reaction with drugs include ginger and fennel.
