Yes they are healthy but they are more medicine than regular food because they are nor fruit or vegetable but "herb". They are good with cooking but excess can lead to overstimulative to your nervous system and taxing on the organs and also quite lethal to the gut microbiome. This is why many times after heavy supplemtation of garlic/onion when one is sick one has to replenish gut with lots of yogurt and sauerkraut to rebuild gut flora.

I loaded up on garlic, onion and oregano when i became sick few years ago and it kicked the sickness away but i had to take probiotics to rebuild my gut because i was struggling to digest and absorb food after heavy loading of these herbs.

Use as medicine, they are quite strong for daily use.

Especially if you are on the spiritual path and value things like having a calm and centred mind and relaxed body.

Garlic has an enzyme called alicin that is being formed when you chop it and let it sit. It is a powerful antiviral and antibacterial remedy. It helps to slow down cellular replication of some viruses and bacterial adhesion on the epithelium of things like urinary tract or digestive tract. 

Garlic also supports liver detoxification Phase I. However it contraindicates with a lot of medical drugs becomes it interacts with some of the P450 liver enzymes which is something to be cautious of if using things like statins or lots of painkillers
