Garlic serves as more than a flavor enhancer, when used in cooking. Sulfur compounds present in this food, activate liver enzymes which help remove toxins from the body. The sulfur content in garlic works together with selenium, to protect the liver through antioxidant actions.
The combination of these benefits, makes garlic an excellent choice for your liver, since it strengthens your immune response, while helping liver detoxification and reducing cholesterol levels.
The consumption of fresh raw garlic should be integrated into your meals through salads and soups as well as sauces, or used as a tadka to your regular sabzis as well. You can also consume it with water.
To obtain the best results with crushed or chopped garlic, you should let it sit for a few minutes prior to consumption.
