I’ve done some weird things in my time as a writer for a health and fitness website, but deciding to consume a clove of raw garlic every day is definitely one of the oddest and, honestly, most unexpected.

Even though I kept seeing videos cross my feed of health influencers lauding the benefits of eating raw garlic, garlic was something I actively avoided for years, as part of a restrictive elimination diet due to illness.
