How many cloves can you eat daily?

Despite the enormous benefits of garlic, doctors do not recommend eating it every day.

This is because the vegetable contains essential oils, which in turn can have a negative effect on the body. In particular, if garlic is consumed frequently in large quantities, it can contribute to the formation of gallstones and heart rhythm disturbances.

Therefore, it is recommended to eat half, maximum one medium-sized clove of garlic per day.

Even such a small portion contains a sufficient amount of allicin, which helps in the prevention of certain types of cancer and getting rid of bad cholesterol.
