Hello Followers,

Welcome to the Weekend!

September is a month of transition and new beginnings, filled with inspiration and beauty as summer fades into fall.

It brings mixed feelings and colors as the sunny and warm days of summer fade out and are replaced with crisp autumn air, chilly rains.

And suddenly, you just know it is time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.

It is time to go out and start the magic!

It is time to dive into the incredible health benefits of garlic and explore easy ways to incorporate it into your lifestyle today.

Garlic is the key to unlocking a world of flavors.

So, again do not underestimate the power of spices and herbs in promoting health.

Garlic is available in various forms to suit your preferences and health conditions.

Here is a look at the different effects of garlic supplementation and dosage recommendations:

Raw Garlic:

The consumption of garlic raw maximizes the availability of allicin, garlic's primary active compound, which is known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-cancer properties.

Crush 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic per day for maximum benefit.

Roasted Garlic:

Garlic cloves are roasted whole or in slices until soft and caramelized.

Roasted garlic offers a milder, sweeter taste than raw garlic, but also decreases some of the allicin content.

Can be consumed more liberally than raw garlic; 2-3 cloves per day.

Try adding it to your favorite bone broth.

Garlic Oil:

Oil infused with garlic, either commercially prepared or homemade.

Rub garlic oil on painful joints as an anti-inflammatory to ease pain or place 1-2 drops in the ear to treat ear infections.

Garlic Capsules:

Garlic powder or garlic oil in capsule form, standardized to contain a certain amount of allicin or other garlic compounds.

Convenient for those who want the benefits of garlic without the taste or smell.

Typically dozed at 600-1200 mg daily, divided into multiple doses.

Garlic Tablets:

Compressed garlic powder or extract in tablet form.

Like capsules, tablets offer a convenient, odorless way to consume garlic.

They often contain a standardized dose of garlic's active components.

Generally, the dosage is like that of capsules.

Aged Garlic Extract:

Garlic that has been aged and soaked in water or alcohol to reduce odor and increase the presence of certain beneficial compounds, available in capsule or liquid form.

Follow the manufacturer's guidelines, usually around 600-1200 mg daily.

Tomorrow, Dan, and I will start on another herb that heals the body and can be easily grown at home, in your kitchen or small garden – thyme.

KNOWLEDGE IS A TREASURE, BUT PRACTICE IS THE KEY TO IT

DID YOU KNOW!

Dancing with children offers far more than simple entertainment.

 It actively supports their growth and emotional well-being.

When kids move rhythmically to music, they practice balance, coordination, and spatial awareness.

These movements refine motor skills by strengthening muscles, improving posture, and enhancing flexibility.

For children still developing body control, dance becomes a fun way to exercise without feeling like a chore.

Beyond physical benefits, dancing sparks joy and reduces stress.

Music and movement together release endorphins, instantly boosting mood for both parents and children.

Shared dance sessions also create opportunities for laughter, play, and connection, which strengthen parent-child bonding.

In these moments, children feel supported, safe, and understood, while parents nurture trust and affection.

Whether it is a structured dance activity or spontaneous living-room fun, dancing weaves together fitness, happiness, and emotional closeness making it one of the simplest yet most powerful tools for family well-being.

You are never alone on your path to peace and self-discovery.

Until Sunday, garlic is the star ingredient that shines on the plate.
