Fit Food: The Benefits of Garlic

No need to get sodium-loaded Chinese takeout—you can recreate your favorite dish at home with a fraction of the fat. Minced garlic pumps up the flavor of veggies and lean protein in a stir-fry. Sauté it with broccoli, julienned carrots, baby corn, snow peas or green beans, onions, water chestnuts, and diced chicken breast or lean beef in a low-sodium soy sauce, then serve over brown rice.
