Garlic vs antibiotics
-
Today we're going to contrast garlic and antibiotics. I read an article on nu.nl and this immediately caught my attention. We can no longer imagine a world without medicines and more than half of the people take medicines every day.
-
I myself am not a direct supporter of antibiotics, for example, I always try to find a natural way first. For that reason I found the article on nu.nl very interesting.

In the article it is described that a certain nutrient in garlic has a more effective effect than certain types of antibiotics against a bacterium in the intestines.
-
People are very enthusiastic about the results as we can then find new ways to fight certain bacteria through food. Indirectly this means fewer drugs, which in turn means fewer side effects.
-
The only side effects that garlic has is that it leaves us with an unpleasant odor in our breath. But if this means that I do not have to take any medication, I will brush my teeth once more.

Some nutrients including â € œdiallyl sulfideâ € can penetrate the protective layer (mucus) of bacteria more easily than antibiotics! This makes it faster and more efficient to kill the bacteria.
-
 € œNo cureâ €
-
Eating garlic should not be seen as a medicine, however it will reduce certain bacteria that are standard in the food processing industry.

Resistance
-
Not convinced yet? Then I'll give you one more important reason why you should postpone antibiotics as much as possible. I admit, in some situations we can't live without it, but when there are "healthier" ways to get better, this is always better, right?
-
When you take antibiotics, your body will eventually become resistant to them. This means that the same amount of antibiotics will become less efficient. Because of this you will have to take larger amounts.
-
 € œMore side effectsâ €
-
The more antibiotics you take, the greater the side effects can be. In the long run, these side effects can really take a toll on your life.
-
Below some side effects:
-
The latter in particular can be serious. The intestines contain good bacteria that support you in digesting food properly. When these bacteria are destroyed by the antibiotics, the digestion process does not run smoothly!
Conclusion
-
There are no foods that can take over the work of antibiotics. Antibiotics are too effective for this. Certain nutrients can, however, attack certain bacteria in a more targeted manner.
-
At the moment, people are looking for a way to "fortify" antibiotics with certain natural foods.
-
Preventing food poisoning can easily be done with the help of garlic, but for more serious infections / conditions we will still have to find comfort with antibiotics whether we like it or not.
-
Not only garlic is more effective against certain bacteria can antibiotics. Aloe Vera, for example, also contains nutrients that can be more "targeted" than antibiotics [!MOWPOP id = "128"]
