How is this natural recipe with honey and garlic made?
To ensure all the benefits we described above, make sure your garlic and honey are of high quality.
It is easy to find cheap honey in the shops, but this is often poor in nutrients, because it is not 100% natural or because it is made with added sugars.
Ingredients
1 cup of honey (335 grams)
10 cloves of garlic
1 glass jar with a lid
Preparation
Finely chop the garlic cloves or crush them with a garlic press.
Empty the honey into the glass jar and stir the garlic into it.
Close the jar and store it in a dark place for one week.
After this period you will have a rich, healthy syrup.
How it is taken
Eat one tablespoon before breakfast, either on its own or dissolved in a little warm water.
Consume this mixture daily for seven days in a row. Wait a week or two and repeat.
Store the honey with the garlic at room temperature so that it does not begin to crystallise.
It should be noted that the effects of this particular treatment will differ from person to person depending on daily habits.
Absolutely nothing will change if you continue to follow a diet rich in saturated fats, sugars and other unhealthy foods.
