1. The correct way to make garlic water. Preparation materials: 20g garlic, 30g rock sugar and appropriate amount of water. Method: Prepare garlic and rock sugar. Peel and slice the garlic thinly and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Add a small bowl of water to the pot and bring to a boil. Add garlic slices and rock sugar, bring to a boil again and then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.

2. It is not recommended to drink garlic water on an empty stomach. Allicin and capsaicin soaked in garlic water are highly irritating. If you drink it on an empty stomach, it will be more irritating to the gastrointestinal tract and increase digestive juices, which can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort, stomach pain and other symptoms.

3. Drink when you have a cold. Allicin in garlic water has the ability to kill bacteria and viruses. If you drink it when you have a cold or a cough, it can relieve cough and dispel cold. Garlic is warm in nature and is not suitable for patients with wind-heat and cold.

4. Drink after meals. Allicin and capsaicin in garlic water have a certain stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract, so it is not suitable to drink on an empty stomach; it is also not suitable to drink it immediately after a meal, as it will affect its effect. Therefore, it is generally recommended to drink it 1-2 hours after a meal, as it has a better gastrointestinal absorption effect. .
