The first references to garlic found in diets go back to ancient Egypt, where the working class was known to eat garlic in order to maintain and increase their strength. In ancient Greece, soldiers were fed garlic for courage and strength, and it was associated with war. Most notably, during the first Olympic Games, garlic was consumed by the athletes before they competed!

My mornings are bananas, and not just because I feed them to my kids because they're quicker than cutting up other types of fruit. Here's everything I did this morning, all before a time when, in an ideal world, I'd still be unconscious. 38909472 6:30 a.m. — Wake up to internal alarm.
