In daily diet, it is advisable to eat a moderate amount of garlic when consuming meat. This is because although animal meat, especially lean meat, is rich in vitamin B1, vitamin B1 stays in the body for a very short time and is excreted in small amounts through urine. If you eat garlic with meat, the vitamin B1 in the meat can combine with allicin in garlic. This can increase the content of vitamin B1 by 4-6 times and change its property from water-soluble to fat-soluble, thereby extending its retention time in the human body.
Medical experts have also found in their research that eating both meat and garlic can promote blood circulation, increase the absorption rate of vitamin B1 in the gastrointestinal tract and its utilization rate in the body, and is of great significance for quickly eliminating fatigue in various organs of the body, enhancing physical fitness, and preventing colorectal cancer. Therefore, eating meat with garlic can achieve a twice-the-result-with-half-the-effort nutritional effect.
