Increase your garlic intake now to prevent colds and treat colds and keep people at a distance. :-) I just made this quick Bruschetta mostly because I had a huge tomato to use, but my mind is always on garlic and onions. So, even though you can't see it, there are like 5 cloves of garlic in there. The more you chop or mince the garlic, the more allicin is created. Allicin is the compound responsible for the health benefits in garlic. It helps prevent heart attacks, stroke, dissolves blood clots, improves cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, prevents colon cancer. It is also anti-bacterial, anti-fungal; it kills internal parasites, protozoa, and some insects. To finish off this yummy dish, pour on the extra viring olive oil, a little red wine vinegar, grind some tasty mineral-rich sea salt, and sprinkle on dried basil or chopped fresh basil. I did not have the fresh basil, but sure would've liked it! Finally, serve atop some lightly toasted multi-grain ro sprouted grain bread. Note when using garlic in the many recipes you may have, after chopping the garlic, give it a chance to bloom the benefits. Allicin will take up to ten minuites to produce fully. If you let it go too long though, it begins to decline. Cooking garlic also decreases allicin content.
