    Garlic is an ancient dual-use medicine and food treasure There is a saying that "garlic goes on the market and drugstores close down" In ancient Egypt in 4000 BC, the king ordered the pyramids to be built In order to avoid the plague of slaves, he asked them to chew a few raw garlic when eating "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by Li Shizhen records that garlic "has strong Qi, which can pass through five internal organs, remove cold and dampness, and ward off evil" Garlic is rich in nutrients In addition to protein, vitamin E, C and trace elements such as calcium, iron, selenium and germanium, there are also 17 kinds of amino acids, 8 of which are necessary for human body The content of germanium in garlic is much higher than that of Korean ginseng, green tea, black tea, etc., while organic germanium has been proved to have antitumor activity The most concerned is allicin in garlic Allicin is a kind of broad-spectrum antibacterial substance with comparable efficacy It can activate cells, increase antibacterial and antiviral ability, accelerate metabolism and relieve fatigue Therefore, scientists praised garlic as "penicillin from the ground" In addition, garlic also contains ingredients that can prevent circulatory diseases Ancient Jews also regarded garlic as a "holy aphrodisiac" To give full play to the different functions of garlic, we need different ways of eating For example, when we prevent influenza, we need 2 pieces of raw garlic; when we have a headache, a cold nose, or a cold or a fever, we need garlic, scallion, ginger, etc to fry the soup and take it gently, and sweat will be cured When dysentery, you can use two garlic to cook rice porridge; to prevent or treat primary hypertension, you can eat one or two cloves of sweet and sour garlic on an empty stomach every morning, and drink a small amount of vinegar Because allicin is afraid of heat, it will decompose quickly when exposed to heat, and its bactericidal effect will be reduced Therefore, garlic should be eaten raw to prevent and treat infectious diseases When eating, it's best to mash the garlic and put it in the mud for 10-15 minutes It's a very healthy way to use chopped garlic to mix cold dishes, vinegar and a small amount of sesame oil to mix mashed garlic when eating dumplings Some people can't stand the strong taste of garlic After eating, you may as well chew tea for a while, or eat a few dates, which can effectively remove the bad breath In addition, garlic can be used with other materials For example, pomfret, swordfish and herring are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can be roasted with garlic to help keep blood vessels young It should be noted that garlic should not be used in patients with ophthalmopathy, those with frequent fever, hot flashes and night sweats, those with hepatitis, and those with gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.
