Is it a good idea to swallow a few pieces of raw garlic for its health benefits? i don't wanna chew on the garlic because i know it causes bad breath

Bad breath: Do not except garlic to treat or prevent any illness. What you propose doing will give you bad breath and not provide any benefit. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

Not effective: If chewing or swallowing raw garlic was effective, everyone would do it. No, it's not effective. Yes, the offensive aromatic esthers in the garlic will come out through your pores, over the next few days, making you unpleasant to be around.
