So, you can use your waist size or circumference to predict the risk of health problems that arise from being overweight (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/diabetes\/managing\/healthy-weight.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CDC recommends a healthy waist circumference for both men and women. To decrease likelihood of the aforementioned health challenges, women are advised to maintain a waist circumference below 35 inches, while men should maintain a waist size of no more than 40 inches (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/diabetes\/managing\/healthy-weight.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=garlic_water_benefits\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30039 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/61.png\" alt=\"garlic water benefits\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Garlic_Water_Promote_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>How Does Garlic Water Promote Weight Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, drinking a glass or two of garlic water immediately after you wake up may help you shed pounds. But what is the rationale behind this running theory? Scientists believe this beverage may promote weight loss in several ways, including (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31357923\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Appetite Suppression:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Garlic may work as an appetite suppressant, which is helpful as an appetite suppressant can prevent overeating. As a consequence, you can watch the number of calories you consume to help maintain a calorie deficit for weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fat-Burning Potential:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As demonstrated above, garlic contains numerous compounds, such as ogano-sulfur and diallyl sulfide. These compounds may stimulate the fat-burning process and help you burn more calories.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Metabolism Boost: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garlic is believed to have a thermogenic effect, which means that it can increase the body\u2019s temperature slightly and also its metabolic rate. A boosted metabolism can drive more efficient calorie burning, which supports a calorie deficit and weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Blood Sugar Regulation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Garlic has been researched for its potential to regulate blood sugar levels (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9936729\/#:~:text=Garlic%20can%20decrease%20the%20glucose,%2Dangiogenesis%2C%20and%20neuroprotective%20impacts.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Stable blood sugar can lead to reduced to no energy crashes, and cravings for sugary and high-calorie foods can be kept at bay. This can contribute to better weight management.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reduced Fat Storage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some research has suggested that garlic can influence fat storage in the body by inhibiting the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis, the process through which fat cells are formed (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6049635\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Stimulate Digestion.\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A smooth digestion process can help you lose weight. The theory is that the entire digestive process requires calories as it uses up energy. This means you can shed pounds if you consume fewer calories than you are burning.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this knowledge, experts have stated that this drink may not be as effective as other known weight loss drinks such as green tea. Instead, it has been found to be more effective for reducing waist circumference, but not body weight or body mass index (BMI) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31357923\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, you\u2019re advised to enhance its fat-burning properties by consuming a healthy balanced weight-loss diet and exercising.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improve_Digestive_Health\"><\/span><b>Improve Digestive Health<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking garlic water is also believed to help improve digestive health. Some say it\u2019s better to drink this drink first thing in the morning as it stimulates digestion and appetite (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/265853\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, this drink can improve digestive health by preventing stomach issues such as diarrhea if they are caused by pathogenic bacteria. Maintaining digestive health is essential as it improves overall health by ensuring your body can get <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/9-essential-nutrients\/\">essential nutrients<\/a> from the food you consume. Similarly, you\u2019ll be less likely to experience a host of uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating and constipation if your digestive health is in check.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Combats_Depression\"><\/span><b>Combats Depression<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking garlic water first thing in the morning has also been reported to help boost mental health. Some people believe garlic contains natural mood-lifting properties that help balance chemicals in your body that regulate your mood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression sometimes arises when there\u2019s an imbalance of these chemicals in your body. Therefore, when you use raw garlic to prepare this drink, you could reap its potential mood-enhancing properties and ease depressive symptoms. However, you should consult a professional before you consume this drink for this benefit &#8211; it isn\u2019t a substitute for any therapy or medication prescribed by your doctor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019ve mustered up the courage to crush your weight loss goal, let BetterMe take the sting out of this demanding process.

For example, researchers who investigated the impact of garlic on cardiovascular health discovered the most common complaint among participants to be gastrointestinal discomfort and nausea (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC139960\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers have also acknowledged other side effects such as dizziness, headaches, bloating, profuse sweating, and allergies (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC139960\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). In addition, consuming raw fresh garlic may have additive effects with anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC139960\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In rare cases, garlic water has preceded life-threatening hemorrhage (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC139960\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Therefore, you should speak to your doctor if you\u2019re taking any medication or have an underlying health condition before you start drinking garlic water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also experience bad breath as this bulb is known to cause a strong stench. So don\u2019t be surprised if you notice your sweat and pee smelling of garlic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can mask this stench by eating citrus fruits such as oranges or drinking milk (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC139960\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

You may be tempted to use more garlic cloves in a bid to get as many benefits as you can.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as seen from our discussion on the side effects, too much garlic can result in some discomfort and stomach issues. In addition, it may result in bloating, diarrhea, and even bad breath.
