Garlic Gold Nuggets These crunchy, flash-roasted,
USDA Organic garlic products in six flavors just get better the more ways I find to use them. My new favorites: sprinkling the Parmesan- infused nuggets on baked potatoes instead of butter and spreading the Italian Herb variety on pizza crust under toppings.

In-the-mood herbs
FENUGREEK. A recent Australian study suggests men who consumed fenugreek, a spice commonly used in Asian and Indian cuisines, experienced signifi cantly boosted libido. Add toasted seeds to curries or simmer with chai spices as tea. MACA ROOT. This Peruvian herbal remedy is believed to increase estrogen levels, decrease cortisol, and reduce the risk of anxiety, depression, and sexual dysfunction—especially in postmenopausal women. Studies showed positive results when participants took 3,500 mg dried, powdered maca root per day. GINSENG raises energy levels, increasing sex drive in men and women. One study involving 135 people found that those who took 900 mg Korean red ginseng three times per day experienced signifi cantly better sexual function compared with those who took a placebo.

Stay sharp with vitamin D
What can vitamin D do for you? In a study that tracked 498 elderly women, scientists found that those with the highest vitamin D intake had the lowest risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, recent research found that when children supplemented with 300 IU of vitamin D3 per day, their risk for catching a cold dropped signifi cantly—and they missed fewer school days due to illness.
