Soha Ali Khan is a fitness enthusiast who takes care of her health by eating wholesome foods that promote general well-being and staying active. She mentioned some of the advantages of eating raw garlic on an empty stomach as part of a new routine she had started in a recent Instagram video.
She wrote, “So for the past four weeks I have been starting my mornings with a little bite of raw garlic. Why? Because this tiny clove is a powerhouse for immunity, gut health, inflammation, and overall balance. It’s ancient wisdom that still holds strong.”
The actress shared how she consumes it: “I take one raw clove on an empty stomach, chew for as long as I can to activate the magic compound allicin (tell me your best time), and then swallow with water. If you are not brave enough to chew, you can crush it and let it rest for ten minutes.”
In her caption, Soha Ali Khan also left a word of caution by sharing, “It’s not for everyone — if you’re on blood thinners, have tummy sensitivity, or are planning surgery, always check with your doc first!”
The actress further confessed, “Garlic breath is real, but so are the benefits — so I suggest a good brushing of the teeth and a healthy dose of mouthwash after.”
To this, Shenaz Treasurywala joked, “I loveeee garlic too 🙂 But I’m scared nobody will wanna kiss or talk to me after.” Another said, “Raw garlic is a fabulous medicine! By the way, you can have a glass of milk to help with the garlic breath. It works. Also, milk and garlic are a great combo, especially during this monsoon season.”
