Garlic
Dec 12th, 2009 by JonathanCline

I enjoy cooking with garlic.

When using garlic, crush it and let it sit for several minutes to allow all the enzymes to flourish.

It is best to use garlic raw, in dishes without cooking.

Determination and size-fractional distribution of the elements in garlic.

Plant Strong Diet Athletes: 100% Vegan
Nov 29th, 2009 by JonathanCline

The Ultraman World Championships was this past weekend (Nov. 27-29). Ultraman is an athletic endurance event so extreme that just to qualify, you have to complete an Ironman race.   Two of the participants this year will be Richard Roll and Jason Lester. They are both 100% vegan, and credit their success to a plant-strong lifestyle.

Think vegan can win in this most extreme of all endurance athletic events?  It can – Richard Roll won day 1 at Ultraman.   He performed a 6.2 mile swim plus a 90 mile bike ride in 7 hours, 57 minutes.. which was the best of the day! From his twitter page :

Two words: PLANT STRONG. For those who think u can’t excel athletically on a plant based diet, think again.
