Cleansing the Body through Diet (continued) “Day 9 of 2011”
Powerful medicine foods (Garlic)
As we continue to look at the benefits of garlic, I would like to ask you a
question. Did you know that garlic is helpful in combating colds, flu’s, and
viruses? It possesses the ability to destroy bacteria that cause infection, and
promote sweating. Garlic has anti-inflammatory properties which will decrease
symptoms related to asthma and arthritis. It will also reduce the risk of
atherosclerosis and heart attacks by relaxing the wall of the blood vessels.
Garlic is said to decrease the risk of cancers such as skin, prostate, ovarian,
and colon, as it fights free radicals that poison our cells. Eating any food
from the alliums family will reduce the risk of cancer if eaten at least twice a
week, and up to 80%, if eaten frequently.
Garlic must be eaten raw or lightly sautéed for the best health benefits. If
you chop or crush garlic the enzymes are activated and the phytonutrients are
converted into sulfuric compounds, which are very potent. Do not cook garlic at
high temperatures as this will destroy the phytonutrients enzymes. It can be
sautéed at low heat for just a few minutes, very little damage will occur. When
buying garlic, we suggest organic or locally grown. Make sure the bulbs are
plump, firm, and free of mold. You want to buy regular garlic, not elephant
garlic, as it will not provide the full health benefits....to be continued.
TIP OF THE DAY "How to make your own Ear Oil "
You can also make your own ear oil for earache by chopping garlic, mix with
olive oil and warm for five to ten minutes over low heat. Cool, strain and its
ready to drop into the ear.
Watch for the exit FOCUS ... says Ms Bettie
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your
hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus
Christ. 1Peter 1:13
