Garlic side effects brain
I’ve done some weird things in my time as a writer for a health and fitness website, but deciding to consume a clove of raw garlic every day is definitely one of the oddest and, honestly, most unexpected.
Even though I kept seeing videos cross my feed of health influencers lauding the benefits of eating raw garlic, garlic was something I actively avoided for years, as part of a restrictive elimination diet due to illness.
But I'd recently begun making pesto at home (I am never going back to the shop-bought stuff, it's amazing) and then eating it as a dip with bread for dinner.
The recipe called for a whole head of garlic in each 500ml batch so I calculated that over a month I was consuming a whopping 25 cloves of raw garlic in this way, as well as a substantial amount of fresh basil and pine nuts.
Over the course of a month, I had my raw-garlic-packed pesto (or basil-y garlic paste, you decide) almost every day, and I noticed some surprising changes.
Here's what happened, along with the view of a dietitian on the risks and rewards of regular raw garlic eating.
