Stir-frying meat without garlic reduces the nutritional value by half!

For a foodie, many dishes are simply unpalatable without some garlic, especially when stir-frying meat. So why do we have to add garlic when eating meat?

The reason why you should eat garlic when eating meat

Meat products, especially lean meat, are rich in vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 only stays in the human body for a very short time. If the body does not have time to absorb it, vitamin B1 will be excreted in the urine.

Garlic contains unique alliin and allinase, which will produce allicin after contact with vitamin B1. The vitamin B1 in meat combines with allicin to form stable allithiamine, thereby increasing the content of vitamin B1 by 4 to 6 times. Not only that, allithiamine can also prolong the residence time of vitamin B1 in the human body, increase the absorption rate of vitamin B1 in the gastrointestinal tract and the utilization rate in the body, and play a very important role in eliminating physical fatigue and strengthening physical fitness.

Who should not eat garlic?

Patients with eye diseases.

The ancients said: "Garlic cures all diseases except one that harms the eyes." Eating garlic for a long time and in large quantities is harmful to the eyes. Ji Kang said in "Health Theory" that "spicy food harms the eyes." Garlic has the spiciest taste, and it is a clear way to clear the eyes, which can easily cause eye damage. Therefore, be careful not to eat too much garlic, especially for people with eye diseases. Spicy food must be avoided during treatment.

Patients with spleen deficiency and diarrhea.

Raw garlic is very irritating. Eating a small amount on a normal basis can promote digestion. However, if you eat garlic when you suffer from non-bacterial enteritis or diarrhea, the strong stimulation will cause congestion and edema of the intestinal mucosa, promote exudation, and worsen the condition.

Seriously ill people should eat with caution.

Garlic is an irritant, which means food that is particularly likely to induce certain diseases or aggravate existing diseases. Eating spicy foods such as garlic and chili peppers may cause obvious side effects for people with serious illnesses or who are taking medications. Not only may old diseases be triggered, but medications may also become ineffective or cause a chain reaction with medications, affecting physical health.
