The Energized Woman

Recently I received the November issue of “Body + Soul” Magazine, which I absolutely love.  The issue offered many valuable health tips, as the magazine always does, and the one I want to share with you today has to do with meal preparation.  This tip encourages you to make a point of adding two particular ingredients to your meals on a regular basis (if you aren’t already).  And these two ingredients are…

raw or lightly cooked garlic and onions

According to the article, “Both garlic and onions appear to possess antiviral and antibacterial properties and are believed to boost immunity.”  Sounds great to me! 

Now that wintery weather has arrived (or at least here in Michigan it has), I’m more inclined to make heartier meals than I am during the summertime.  Meals like chili and stew just feel like such a great fit when there’s a chill in the air.  And now I’ll be sure to add in garlic and onions whenever possible, not only for the flavors, but to enhance my health as well. 

Enjoy your healthy eating!
