Turns out having garlic breath could be a good thing! Garlic is known for being used for medicinal purposes over the years, but did you know that one of its benefits actually involves improving your gut health? Garlic contains the fibre inulin, which is a prebiotic! Just like prebiotic tablets, the inulin in garlic boosts the good bacteria in your gut. A recent study even found that garlic reduced the negative impacts of high-fat diets! So, while vampires will probably want to stay away from this health advice, for garlic-lovers, add that extra clove or two (or three) and reap the benefits of that extra dose of good gut bacteria! What’s your favourite dish to add lots of garlic to?
