Re: Garlic
Garlic is a super food, highly beneficial to us. We should eat plenty of it, incorporating it into as many meals as possible.
It has been used for 1000s of years for it's medicinal properties.
Scientists are even now still trying to work out how it does what it does.
A clove of garlic contains over 300 active compounds all working in harmony to deliver health benefits to our bodies.
By comparison, your average Big Pharma Paracetamol tablet has only ONE active ingredient.
Scientists have only sussed about 5 of garlics compounds AFAIK.
Nature is powerful and should always be our first choice for nutrients and medicines imho.
Ginger is equally powerful and great for any digestive ailments and other things.
My most common way to eat it is to cut lots of thin matchstick pieces of it which I fry with chopped onions, a few raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I then roast a full half of a butternut squash in the oven and for the final 20 mins fill the squash hole with the ginger/onion mix.
It's an incredibly warming and satisfying dish, the ginger sticks giving warmth and bite, the cinnamon giving that lovely moroccon flavour and the raisins a little sweetness.
Eat and much garlic and ginger as you can imo. Keeps blood pressure regulated, kills bugs and viruses, helps stomach/intestinal issues and much much more.
