Fitness Friday - Cilantro

I thought this article that I found here would be appropriate for today's Fitness Friday since we are in Mexico and aren't there samonella outbreaks all over at home?

Any fan of Mexican food is familiar with cilantro. But here’s something you may not know about it: The pungent green could fend off gut-cramping illness. Potent compounds in cilantro appear to be quite a match against a strain of salmonella common in food poisoning.

When salmonella invades your gastrointestinal tract . . . well, we won’t go into graphic detail. Suffice it to say that it can quickly spoil a summer outing! But chopping some cilantro into your pool-party salsa just might keep the dip safer, thanks to the strong antibacterial action of substances in the green. And add extra onions to your salsa for good measure. They help battle salmonella, too.
