I really try to detox my body as much as I can. I work and live in central London and have a frenetic lifestyle so I need double dose of antioxidants! That’s why whenever I can enjoy the pleasure of having a relaxing breakfast at home, I jump at the chance to have some fresh garlic with it.
The benefits of garlic are widely known, namely: medicinal properties, reduction of blood pressure and cholesterol levels, flu fighting and a powerful source of antioxidants. But what a lot of people don’t know is that all these amazing benefits increase dramatically when you have garlic first thing in the morning, as bacteria struggle to defend themselves from garlic on an empty stomach.
So I simply spread a garlic clove on my toast and add the other ingredients on top. This helps me cleanse my kidneys and bladder more effectively. And it feels so good to taste those Mediterranean vibes, especially for all of us city slickers!
