    Part of the properties when eating fresh garlic...it has an odor which permeates, but there may be a few things which could help remedy the odor.

    Try eating a lot of green, leafy vegetables. Parsley is great. Celery could benefit. Greens like collard or turnip or mustard or spinach or alfalfa sprouts, etc. can go a long ways towards handling the odor. Also, you may want to try some fruits like lemon or lime. Eat some of those with the rind to help rinse out the system. Oatmeal or oats could help somewhat. Raw potato may be of benefit. Slider48 has some good advice.

    I should mention that the probiotics of fresh vegetables alone can help a person. In other words, when eating fresh greens, you can obtain beneficial microbes in a way that is similar to yogurt's beneficial microbes.

    Working up a sweat shortly after eating garlic can help expedite it through your system.

    Different people have different body types and eating habits and systems, so you will want to experiment with what works well for you.

    The nice part is that garlic has so many benefitial properties.

    • Well besides all that the garlic keeps away vampires, mosquitoes and all them bloodsuckers. I eat lots of garlic and in the summertime I am never bothered by mosquitoes, and never been bit by a vampire.
