EAT TO BEAT

THOSE

WINTER

AILMENTS!!

We all know that eating a well balanced diet, getting plenty of shut eye, and washing your hands regularly can help keep the winter cooties away, but did you ever think that by just consuming garlic that you may help prevent or even reduce the duration of a cold?  Well it can!!  Garlic contains a powerful compound called Allicin.  Allicin contains components that have antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Research has shown that garlic can kick start your immune system and act as an anti-inflammatory.  So use plenty of garlic when your cooking, or if you prefer, you can take garlic in capsule form.  Don't worry about bad breath........the benefits far out weigh the negatives!!!
