Tip of the week
Cooking:
Always use a clean pair of kitchen scissors to trim edges of bread. Much
neater and less messy edges as compared to those trimmed with a knife.
Health:
Did you know that cigarette smoking is directly responsible for more than
400,000 deaths per year in the U.S.? About 25% of Americans smoke. Quitting smoking is the
most significant lifestyle change one can make to improve personal health.

Of all
plants with medicinal purposes, garlic is probably the most widely hailed. It’s been
said to bolster the immune system, prevent cancer and heart disease, and act as an
antibiotic. Even ancient Greek literature abounds with anecdotes about the wondrous
qualities of garlic. It’s one of those foods that have more than nutritional
benefits. The allium family – including garlic, onions and leeks – contains a
chemical called allicin that may curb cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Although
garlic’s role as a cancer fighter has not passed rigorous testing, the evidence that
it can lower cholesterol is strong. A survey of 16 clinical trials found garlic lowered
cholesterol by 12 percent. Not all supplements work as well as plain garlic, so stick with
the fresh stuff.
