⚡DANGERS of EATING GARLIC⚡
While garlic is widely celebrated for its health benefits, including boosting immunity, reducing inflammation, and lowering cholesterol, it’s important to understand that consuming garlic in excessive amounts can have some downsides. Though it’s safe for most people when eaten in moderation, eating too much garlic or using it incorrectly can lead to several unpleasant side effects.
1. Digestive Issues
Garlic can be harsh on the digestive system when consumed in large amounts. Some people may experience gas, bloating, or heartburn, especially if they have a sensitive stomach or consume raw garlic. Eating too much garlic can irritate the stomach lining, leading to discomfort or even nausea.
2. Bad Breath and Body Odor
One of the most well-known side effects of garlic is its ability to cause bad breath, also known as garlic breath. The sulfur compounds in garlic, which are responsible for many of its health benefits, can linger in the mouth and be released through your pores, leading to a strong body odor. For some, this effect can last even after brushing and rinsing the mouth.
3. Allergic Reactions
Garlic can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. These reactions may manifest as skin rashes, hives, or even digestive issues like diarrhea and nausea. If you experience any signs of an allergy after eating garlic, it’s essential to stop consuming it and consult with a healthcare professional.
