Hello,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I can understand your concerns.

Yes, superfoods like one-clove garlic help improve liver health. They contain natural antioxidants like allicin, which reduce lipid peroxides and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels remarkably. It has many antioxidant properties, but there are many other superfoods that help, like ginger or raw turmeric, or some herbs like basil. You can surely add them to your soups, curry, or salads. You can make garlic bread or toast and add it to your pasta. It tastes really good as a raw garlic sauce with red pepper to use as a dip. Use some kind of mouth freshener if you are having raw garlic. It is okay to consume; just check for allergic reactions. Otherwise, it is good to go, even with medical issues as well.

You can always come back and reach me at icliniq.com.

Thank you for consulting me.
