The effect of soaking garlic with honey is as follows
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that asthma is due to physical weakness and exogenous cold evil, which hinders the excretion of pathogenic factors and affects the decline and spread of the lungs. Honey can moisten the lungs and resolve phlegm, and garlic can inhibit bacteria and enhance immunity. The combination of these two foods can alleviate the symptoms of asthma. Experts from Garlic Research Institute believe that garlic has such excellent efficacy because it contains two effective substances, alliinase and alliinase. Allicin and alliinase each stay quietly in the cells of fresh garlic. Once garlic is crushed, they will contact each other, thus forming colorless oily liquid allicin. Allicin has a strong bactericidal effect. After it enters the human body, it can react with cystine of bacteria to produce crystal precipitation, which destroys SH groups in thioamino organisms necessary for bacteria, making bacteria metabolize disorder and unable to reproduce and grow.
The minerals and sugar contained in honey can be combined with the nutrients of garlic to enhance liver function. Garlic is a spicy and irritating food, which will stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause dry mouth after eating, while honey has the functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach and nourishing yin. Therefore, eating garlic soaked in honey can make up for the shortcomings of garlic's yin injury and better protect the gastric mucosa.
Garlic is rich in allicin, protein, vitamins and trace nitric acid. Allicin can inhibit and kill typhoid Bacillus, staphylococcus and pyogenic Bacillus, and nitrogen acid can stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen. Koreans often eat garlic with other foods, which not only improves the taste, but also improves the health care effect of garlic, and honey soaked garlic is the best golden partner. Garlic soaked in honey is best eaten at dinner, because it is effectively absorbed during sleep and can reduce the irritation of garlic to the stomach.
Experts also pointed out that eating garlic is not the better. Because eating too much garlic will affect the absorption of vitamin B, eating a lot of garlic will also irritate the eyes, which is easy to cause blepharitis and conjunctivitis. Besides, garlic should not be eaten on an empty stomach. Because garlic has strong irritation and corrosiveness, patients with gastric ulcer and patients with headache, cough and toothache should not eat garlic.
