HEALTH BENEFITS

Avocado Oil: Rich in healthy fat, and it’s an excellent choice for elevated temperature cooking.

Garlic:  Can reduce high blood pressure, and it also contains antioxidants.  Top food for gut health – it contains prebiotic fiber, plus it’s antiviral and antifungal.

Himalayan Salt:  One of the cleanest salts you can find. As opposed to conventional table salt that is heavily processed which removes its beneficial minerals.

Pine nuts: Great for weight management. Pine nuts contain pinoleic acid that stimulate the intestines to produce CCK which signals the brain to turn off the “Hungry Mode”.
