Garlic is our friend

sandysford Posts: 1,139 Joined: 2002/11/18	2002/12/31, 03:10 PM Just pasted this from an article I was reading and remembered seeing something on this site about it. Maybe this can help in that problem area. I know my husband will appreciate my use of garlic more and mouthwash. LOL "In fact, bodybuilders take in excessive amounts of protein and this can lead to flatulence resulting from protein breakdown in the gut. Farting is not very popular with significant others, so eating garlic will assist in reducing the amount of flatulence that occurs. This makes eating garlic a win-win situation. On the one hand it boosts the immune system, and on the other it may even help you get a little closer a little more often to your significant other because you wont be farting like a blast furnace!" ---------------------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

I'll try it to see if it helps, but I'll need to remember to carry my toothbrush around with me wherever I go. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

He drank some ginger ale and viola no more stinky booty. Ginger also is great for stomache aliments. :) Melissa -------------- Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
