Many people believe that garlic soaked in vinegar can support cardiovascular health, boost immunity and help the body fight inflammation. However, experts recommend not abusing this dish.
According to the US National Center for Integrated and Supplementary Health (NCCIH), garlic contains many bioactive sulfur compounds, of which allicin is prominent. Some studies show that garlic can help reduce cholesterol, blood pressure and contribute to improving cardiovascular health to a certain extent.
However, eating too much garlic, even in the form of vinegar, can cause unwanted effects. Eating a large amount of garlic every day can lead to bloating, indigestion, burning stomach, acid reflux, or a strong breathing odor.
Nutrition experts recommend that adults should only eat in moderation, about a few cloves of garlic per day instead of continuously using in large quantities. People with stomach diseases, digestive ulcers or frequent reflux should be cautious because garlic and vinegar can both increase discomfort in the digestive tract.
In addition, people who are taking anticoagulants or preparing for surgery should also consult a doctor before using more garlic for a long time. Some studies show that garlic can affect the blood clotting process.
