• Benefits of Garlic : Garlic is rich in manganese, vitamin C, and selenium. Garlic also has a theraputic action due to its phytochemicals containing sulphur. Garlic supports normal blood pressure and may help reduce serum cholesterol and helps prevent placque forming in the arteries.

• Boost your resistance to winter woes with vitamin C :To build a healthy immune system this coming winter, make sure your diet includes plenty of natural vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant plays a central role in the repair and regeneration of tissues, and helps protect cells throughout the body. Good food sources of vitamin C that are abundant and can be enjoyed all year long include (raw not cooked): broccoli, cantaloupe, kiwi, oranges, peppers, pineapple, pink grapefruit, and strawberries.
• Fluke parasites are a type of parasitic flatworm (trematode) that can cause infections and diseases of the digestive tract and lungs of its host species. The name "trematode" is from the Greek meaning, "having holes." This refers to the external suckers that adult flukes use to leech nutrients from their hosts. Fluke parasites have fairly complex life cycles and must generally inhabit several hosts. Humans can contract a fluke parasite infection by consuming uncooked fish, plants, or animals or from contact with fluke-infected waters. Algae on ponds can be a host for these parasites.There are several ways to rid yourself of these parasites--black walnut tincture and wormwood (kills worms and flukes), fresh cloves (kills eggs), fresh pumpkin seeds, and other herbs. You should be able to find most of these in your local health food store.
• Meatless Diet Causes Brain Shrinkage
  Scientists have discovered that going veggie could be bad for your brain, with those on a meat-free diet six times more likely to suffer brain shrinkage. Vegans and vegetarians are the most likely to be deficient because the best sources of the vitamin are meat, particularly liver, milk and fish. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause anaemia and inflammation of the nervous system.
• Benefits of Pomegranates
  Pomegranates help in the production of red blood cells, strengthen the bladder and the gums, expel tapeworms, and soothe ulcers in the mouth and throat. Pomegrantes are high in potassium and citric acid and have moderate amounts of the B vitamins and vitamin C. Pomegranates have very high content of punicalagins, a potent anti-oxidant component found to be responsible for its superior health benefits. The level of anti-oxidants is higher than those of other fruits known to have high-levels of anti-oxidant, including blueberries, cranberries and oranges. This was attributed to the very high polyphenol content in the fruit. You can find 100% pomegranate juice bottled by several different companies.
• Benefits of Oats
  Oats were defined in Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary (1755): "Oats: a grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people." A Scotsman replied, "England is noted for the excellence of her horses; Scotland for the excellence of her men."
  Oats are high in fat, suppling stamina and warmth. Oats help improve the resistance to stress and keep the body balanced. Oats help to stabilize blood suger, regulate the thyroid, soothe the nervous and digestive systems, reduce the craving for tobacco, and reduce cholesterol. You can add oats to your diet by eating oatmeal and energy bars that contain oats.
