FAQs:
Q: Why would I eat garlic before bed?
A: Garlic has natural antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Eating it before bed may help support your immune system, reduce inflammation, aid digestion, and even promote better sleep.
Q: Will eating garlic at night make my breath smell in the morning?
A: Honestly—yes, it might. But brushing your teeth and tongue, and drinking water before and after can help reduce the odor. Some people also chew parsley afterward to neutralize the smell.
Q: Is it safe to eat raw garlic every night?
A: For most people, yes! But if you have a sensitive stomach or certain conditions (like acid reflux), it may cause discomfort. Always start with small amounts and see how your body responds.
Q: Can I cook the garlic instead?
A: You can, but cooking reduces allicin content—the active compound with the most benefits. For maximum effect, raw is best.
