Nutrition Nuggets 10 - Benefits of Eating Garlic

Today is National Garlic Day - April 19/23 We decided to discuss Benefits of Eating Garlic for our mid-week mini Nutrition Nuggets, as a clove of garlic is like a mini-powerhouse of nutrition. Garlic is touted as a superfood. Does it deserve this special designation or is it a lot of hype? Yes, it sure does! Rob and Sandra discuss garlic's ancient history, what ailments Hippocrates prescribed it for, and what we know about garlic's potent health benefits. We talk about why that pungent sulphur smell is the key to garlic's secret ingredient. Sandra discusses what important actions the garlic-sulphur compounds can do for the body, what conditions that it can potentially help, and how to use it in cooking and for recipes. Don't hold your nose with this episode, enjoy every sweet and roasted minute.
