Fight Diseases with Garlic!

by July 26, 2010 » Add the first comment.

Garlic – The Wonder Herb!:

  • contains rich sources of allicin and diallyl sulfide which have tumor-fighting properties
    • chemopreventative (cancer preventive) qualities that are said to protect against cancers of the skin, esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, lung, and mammary glands
  • can have lipid-lowering effects on CVD (cardiovascular disease)
  • suggest eating: 1-2 cloves a day (4000-12,000 micrograms of allicin)
    • doesn’t need to be eaten raw, cook with it, add it to salads, or use it as a spread on sandwiches

° Worried about bad breathe? Chew on some mint leaves or sip on mint tea after eating

Stress Less

Naked Nutrition’s tips on staying clam when things get crazy.

We are all familiar with the feeling – shoulders tense, clenched teeth, maybe even a stomach ache. Stress happens to all of us, but here are some ways to shake it off.

Breathe – Just taking 5 seconds out to stop and breathe will slow your heart rate. Take a step back and focus on your inhale and exhale for 30 seconds. End this practice with a saying like, “I know I can do this,” or words such as, “strong, peaceful, or respect.”
