Everyone knows the antimicrobial properties of garlic - a popular folk remedy for colds. But in order to "improve your health", do not rush to immediately eat a couple of cloves of garlic - it is better to chop them first no earlier than 10 minutes before use!

And there is a simple explanation for this. Allicin is responsible for the antimicrobial properties of garlic. But it's not in the product itself. Allicin is formed as a result of chemical reactions from alliin. And for this chemical reaction to occur, you need to break the integrity of the garlic - crush or cut it.

Important!
Finely chop the garlic and wait 10 minutes - allicin will be released, and the product will acquire antimicrobial properties.
