Bonus 2: Contraindications
However, even this super product has its contraindications. In some cases garlic can be quite dangerous:
- Doctors don’t recommend eating much garlic during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Children under the age of 7 should also consume it in moderate amounts.
- One shouldn’t eat garlic 2 weeks prior to surgery because garlic thins the blood and can cause bleeding.
- When it gets on the skin, garlic and garlic-based products can cause something like a burn. Therefore, it’s necessary to consult your doctor before using it.
- Garlic is a poison for animals, especially for cats and dogs of Japanese origin (Akita and Shiba Inu).
Doctors say that a healthy person can consume up to 4 cloves of garlic per day and feel great. Do you add garlic to the dishes you eat or are you afraid of its sharp smell? Please tell us about it in the comments!
