Four Groups Of People Should Not Eat Garlic
Garlic has a variety of health effects on human body. In addition to promoting digestion and sterilization, garlic also has strong effects of regulating blood lipids, reducing cholesterol, anticoagulation, inhibiting tumor cells, lowering blood sugar, protecting the liver, enhancing immunity, and so on. Although garlic is nutritious and healthy to human body, it is not suitable for everyone. Generally speaking, there are four groups of people who should not eat garlic.
The first group: patients with liver diseases
Many people used to eating garlic to prevent hepatitis. However, such a way is extremely harmful for the hepatitis patients. This is because garlic has no effect on the hepatitis virus, and on the contrary, some components in garlic even may stimulate the stomach and intestines, inhibit the secretion of digestive juice in the intestinal tract, thereby increasing the symptoms of the hepatitis patients, such as nausea. In addition, the volatile components in garlic will reduce the red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood, and may lead to anemia, which is not conducive to the treatment of hepatitis.
The second group: patients with diarrhea
If people suffer from non-bacterial enteritis or diarrhea, they should not eat garlic. If they do not pay attention to this notice and keep eating garlic, the spicy flavor of garlic will stimulate the intestines, and then lead to intestinal mucosal hyperaemia, aggravate edema, thus making the disease much worse.
The third group: patients with eye diseases
People who suffer from glaucoma, cataract, conjunctivitis, and other eye diseases should eat less garlic in their daily diets. Chinese medicine believes that the long-term consumption of large quantities of garlic would "hurt the liver and damage the eyes". Otherwise, with time going, it will lead to a lot of serious symptoms such as poor eyesight, tinnitus, memory loss, and so on. In addition to eating less garlic, they should also eat more foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin B1 and riboflavin, such as animal liver, lean meat, eggs, milk, carrot, tomato, and so on.
The fourth group: patients with other severe diseases
Generally speaking, eating garlic, peppers and other spicy foods is helpful for the healthy people to maintain long-term health. While for the patients who are severely sick and are under medical care, eating garlic would bring significant side effects on their body. The components contained in garlic not only will affect the effects of the medicine, but also may have chain-reaction with the medicine, and then aggravate the disease.
