Introduction

Garlic has been valued for centuries not just as a flavor enhancer, but as a natural remedy for overall health. Among its many forms, raw garlic stands out for its potent heart-supporting properties. Consuming raw garlic daily may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, promote better circulation, and support cardiovascular function. This simple habit can be an easy and affordable addition to a heart-conscious lifestyle when used correctly and consistently.

Ingredients

1 fresh garlic clove (organic preferred)

Optional: warm water, honey, or lemon juice (to reduce sharpness)

Instructions

Peel one fresh garlic clove.

Chop, crush, or mince the clove to activate allicin, the key beneficial compound.

Let it rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the active enzymes to develop fully.

Consume the garlic raw on an empty stomach or before meals.

If the taste is too strong, mix it with a teaspoon of honey or swallow with warm water.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serving size: One small clove per day is sufficient for most people.

Best time to eat: Morning or before meals for better absorption.

Storage: Keep whole garlic bulbs in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Once peeled or chopped, use immediately for maximum benefits.
