Fit Tip--Alliaceous Veggie Goodness

Fit Tip: Garlic, onions, leeks, shallots, and chives (alliaceous family veggies) have sulfur compounds that are known to promote the death of color, breast, lung, and prostate cancer cells. Additionally, studies have suggested a lower risk of kidney and prostate cancer in people who consumed the most garlic of the tested groups.

Tip in Action: Crushing garlic releases more of the compound and more is absorbed when combined with a healthy oil like olive oil. Sauteed chopped garlic and onions tossed with stir-fried veggies or whole grain pasta sprinkled with fresh cracked black pepper and turmeric is a yummy quick fix. Raw works too--toss with salad or layered on sandwiches!
