Soha Ali Khan Chews Raw Garlic Clove Daily to Boost Immunity and Gut Health

She primes each clove to activate allicin’s benefits before swallowing.

Overview

  • For the past four weeks, the actor has started each morning by chewing one raw garlic clove on an empty stomach to harness its wellness effects.
  • She explains that thorough chewing or crushing and resting the clove for ten minutes unlocks allicin, garlic’s key antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory compound.
  • Dietitian Rashi Tantia says raw garlic can also improve heart health, support detoxification and offer antiviral properties when eaten on an empty stomach.
  • Alongside garlic, Soha maintains a three-month ash gourd juice habit for its cooling, detoxifying and digestive advantages.
  • She cautions that people on blood thinners, with tummy sensitivity or preparing for surgery should seek medical advice before adopting the practice.
