Garlic for good health!
According to Anthony William, garlic is a life-changing food. “Garlic is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal (including anti-mold), anti-parasitic, and rich in the phytochemical allicin, a sulfur compound that prevents disease.
Garlic kills off pathogens such as viruses and unproductive bacteria, which are behind so many mystery and chronic illnesses and symptoms.
Garlic helps fight colds, flus, strep throat, pneumonia-causing bacteria, and viral-related cancers.
Garlic extracts toxic heavy metals in the colon and gives you a powerful immune boost.
Although roasting or otherwise cooking garlic is delicious and valuable, garlic is most effective when consumed raw.” Read the rest of this informative article here.

Since garlic is best consumed raw, I can’t think of a better recipe (besides fresh salsa, since all of those ingredients are in season right now) than the classic French Aioli. If you are feeling just the slightest bit sniffly or under the weather, whip up some aioli and eat it with raw vegetables and you will feel better in a jiff! Recipe below.
If you are going to cook with garlic, the most important thing to remember in order to retain all of those amazing health benefits, is to crush, chop or mince your garlic 10 minutes before you add it to heat. This 10 minutes allows the healthy compounds to oxidize and thus stabilize so they are not lost during cooking.
This week I'm also sharing two recipe collections that will take you through the year and keep you healthy! Enjoy
