These recipes represent an important step towards better gut health and immunity. Did you know that 70 to 80 percent (yes, that’s a lot!) of your immune system resides in the gut? There are numerous lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, and litres of lymphatic fluid surrounding your small and large intestines, called Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). The lymphatic system plays a major role in keeping the immune system healthy. Everything that we digest is absorbed into the lymphatic system so we want to be mindful of eating the most life supporting foods for our health.

There are many foods that are important for gut health. The recipes in this ebook focus on the use of garlic. Garlic is an important food to eat if you’re having gut issues. Maybe you feel funky in the gut but not sure what the problem is. Eat some garlic, raw if it doesn’t bother your stomach, or cooked if you are sensitive to garlic.

Garlic is important during this Ayurvedic season of autumn and early winter, called Vata season. It is heating, grounding and stimulating and yet it creates relaxation at the same time.  If you are the type of person who is always hot with a feisty temperament (Pitta), it's best to eat garlic cooked.
