GOODNESS
 Celery:
Celery isn't just for Bloody Marys, although that's as close as many people get to this healthful veggie. Celery may have been used as a hangover cure in ancient Rome, but its real power lies in its ability to lower blood pressure and to keep your weight under control. If you have either of these problems (and they often travel together) you could do worse than grabbing a stalk of celery to chew on.

Chipotle:
These are dried and smoked versions of jalapeno peppers, and add a wonderful flavor to Mexican or
South American dishes. Or barbecues, for that matter. They can have a wide range of heat, so be
careful and taste as you go. It's easy to add more chipotle -- it's hard to take them out. |
Garlic:
Garlic is in the same family as onions and leeks, and purportedly provided ancient Roman soldiers the courage to battle the barbarians.
Whether or not it gives you courage, it is known to lower blood pressure, which is great for your heart and helps prevent stroke.
In addition, it has a long history as a digestive aid, so don't be shy with this wonderful herb, no matter what it does to your breath!
