A garlic a day for good health - The Times of India

Try garlic vinegar: Desperate times need desperate measure, and if you are dealing with a stubborn cold, you must try this garlic-vinegar recipe which is sure to benefit you instantly. In a medium sized bowl, add vinegar (at least half the bowl). Mince one large bulb of garlic (at least 10-15 cloves) and add it to the vinegar. Cover it and let it sit for about an hour. The vinegar absorbs all the raw qualities of the garlic, making it a really strong solution. Strain it and drink the solution when you need immediate effects. Otherwise, use it as a salad dressing or in other recipes that use vinegar.

Though eating of raw garlic is highly recommended, there are many who dislike its smell. Hence, u can try to add some more garlic than what u wud otherwise eat in raw form while making your daily food. u cud grind it alongwith the masala, or just roughly pound it in a mortar-pestle or cut it into very thin slices, brown them in the tadka which can be added to the dals/spinach and make the everyday simple food a garlic delight.

No doubt about the medicinal properties of garlic. The methods suggested for,it's consumption is quite informative and easy to follow. Further it does not cost you much. Even for losing weight consumption of 2 cloves of garlic in the morning is suggested. It can be chewed with a handful of puffed rice.
