My Morning Routine and Why I Do It
Every morning, I eat raw garlic and a raw apple, one right after the other. I chew one to two cloves of raw garlic first, on an empty stomach with a bit of warm water, and then I follow it a few minutes later with a whole apple, skin and all. I do this on purpose, not by accident, because each food is doing a specific job for my body.
I start with the garlic because taking it on an empty stomach lets the allicin in it get absorbed without competing with other food. Allicin and the sulfur compounds in garlic are what give it its documented effects on the cardiovascular system, immune defenses, and inflammation, and studies link a clove or two of raw garlic in the morning to better lipid profiles, mild blood pressure reduction, and stronger natural antibacterial and antiviral defenses, along with support for liver detox pathways through bile stimulation
