Garlic is more than just a flavorful kitchen staple—it’s a powerful natural medicine that has been used for centuries. But what happens when you eat garlic on an empty stomach? Many people around the world swear by this ancient habit, claiming it brings countless health benefits. Science is starting to support some of those claims, too.
Let’s explore how your body reacts when you eat raw garlic before breakfast—and why you might want to try it yourself.
1. Boosts Your Immune System
Garlic is packed with antioxidants and sulfur compounds, especially allicin—its most active healing ingredient. When eaten on an empty stomach, garlic can be absorbed more efficiently, helping strengthen your immune system.
Studies have shown that garlic helps stimulate white blood cells, which play a vital role in fighting infections. That’s why many people find they catch fewer colds or recover faster when they take garlic daily.
2. Supports Healthy Digestion
