Tip of the Week #3
Garlic is basically an edible antibiotic! Louis Pasteur was the first to realize its antiseptic properties, and his findings were widely used during WWI. Since then, we have found that garlic has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties! Its ability to fight disease comes from its sulfur containing compounds; the same stuff that’s responsible for giving you garlic breath. Garlic also acts as a blood thinner, reducing the formation of blood clots, and your risk of heart attack and stroke. This wonder herb has great health benefits to offer both men and women of all ages!
You need to eat about one clove a day to get the herbs full benefits. The more pungent, the more sulfur containing compounds it has. i.e. the better! Add chopped, minced, or crushed garlic to all of your dishes and enjoy eating healthier! ...not to mention its great flavor!
