Garlic is More Than Just An ally in The Kitchen
Most people are familiar with garlic when it comes to Italian, Spanish, and Asian cooking. Did you ever find it ironic that garlic is so popular in all of these cultures? It turns out that garlic is not just great to cook with, but also has great health benefits as well.
Up until World War one it was widely used as an antiseptic. Garlic is antioxidant, stimulates the immune system, anti-parasitic, and helps lower cholesterol. You can take a garlic supplement, but you will receive more benefit if you use fresh garlic in your cooking. The reason for this is because you are consuming the raw garlic in its purest form!

Full Spectrum Lighting For Seasonal Depression
As the Seasons change, day light savings has come. We all have to adjust to it getting dark outside as early as 4:30. A lot of people want to know what we can all do to combat seasonal depression.
The number one product I can recommend is a full spectrum light bulb. These light bulbs are made with neodymium, which is a rare element used in space age technology. These bulbs were made in northern Finland, because much like Alaska life is sustained in total darkness for months at a time.
These lights mimic natural sun light, and promote a sense of well being. They can really can really help make a long winter a little bit shorter.

Vitamin E
In my personal opinion one of the vitamins that Americans are deficient in is vitamin E. One of the reasons people are deficient in vitamin E is because it is only found in small amounts in food.
Some of the benefits of taking vitamin E are increased blood flow, increased circulation, helps get oxygen into your cells, and works as a natural blood thinner.
As always I feel that the best source of vitamin E is a whole food supplement. The best whole food source of vitamin E is rice bran oil, or wheat germ oil.
Another way to get your vitamin E is to go to your health food store, and ask for full spectrum vitamin E. Avoid “dry” versions of vitamin E, because vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin, so it is not easily absorbed this way.

Healthy Vitamin D from the sun
There has been a lot of talk about vitamin D, as a way to prevent health problems. But did you know that the number one source of vitamin D is from the sun.
There are many health benefits from daily sun exposure. Some of them are improved sleeping habits, improved depression, improved digestion, and less colds and flu’s.
If you are new to getting sun exposure there are some rules you should follow. Start off slow, depending on your skin complexion. Start in the spring time, and build up your time in the sun.
This way you will not get sunburn, and remember if you use sunscreen you will be blocking your vitamin D absorption. Wear light colored clothes to the beach, and bring something to cover up in case you start to burn.
If you live north of Los Angles, you will not be able to benefit from the suns health benefits from November to March। During this time you can supplement shiitake mushrooms, or cod liver oil. This way you can keep up with your vitamin D all winter.
