Under normal circumstances, eating too much garlic has the following hazards:
First, it hurts the stomach. It is true that garlic can warm the middle warmer and strengthen the stomach, and its effect of promoting digestion is beyond doubt. However, if you eat too much garlic, it will stimulate the stomach and cause damage to the gastric mucosa. When the situation is mild, there will be a burning sensation, and in severe cases, it will directly lead to stomach pain and diarrhea. This is not worth the loss, so you should eat moderately again.
Second, aggravate eye diseases. As the saying goes, "garlic cures all diseases and is harmful to one eye." Eating more garlic will aggravate eye diseases, cause inflammation, and in severe cases, it will be accompanied by tinnitus and other symptoms. Therefore, if you have eye diseases, you should try to eat less or try not to eat garlic.
Third, aggravate liver disease. As we all know, garlic has a good bactericidal effect, but improper consumption of garlic by people who are hot and have a strong liver fire will increase the burden on the liver. Instead of helping the liver to detoxify, it will make the liver fire more vigorous.
Fourth, cause anemia. Eating too much garlic may also cause anemia, because some of its elements will reduce the content of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the body, and in severe cases, it will cause anemia, especially those who are already anemic should eat less.
Fifth, bring bad breath. Eating a lot of garlic will leave a "lingering" garlic flavor in the mouth. If you often have social intercourse or deal with others, you should stay away from garlic. At the same time, take chewing gum or xylitol with you to relieve bad breath in case of emergency.
Sixth, aggravate cold symptoms. Garlic is irritating and corrosive, which will bring a lot of discomfort to patients with colds and easily stimulate the recurrence of the disease. Therefore, garlic should not be eaten when there are symptoms such as headache and cough.
All in all, there are quite a few "minefields" where garlic is eaten too much. Usually it is best to mash garlic into foam and leave it for a period of time. Generally, it is best for normal people to eat one petal raw and three petals cooked every day. Grasping the appropriate intake will give full play to the wonderful use of garlic.
