Healthy, because
As antioxidants, vegetable dyes from the pumpkin offer protection against cell damage caused by free radicals. The essential oil allicin from garlic not only provides the unique scent, but also a healthy cardiovascular system and a balanced intestinal flora. Essential oils found in sage also have a stimulating effect and facilitate digestion.
