HEALTH BENEFITS
Cabbage: Excellent source of manganese, fiber, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Cabbage is also rich in vitamins C, B6, A, K, and E, and an excellent source for antioxidants including flavonoid, zeaxanthin, lutein, choline, and beta-carotene.
Garlic: Can reduce high blood pressure, and it also contains antioxidants. Top food for gut health – it contains prebiotic fiber, plus it’s also antiviral and antifungal.
Cilantro: Helps support healthy liver function and balance blood sugar.
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.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Contains acetic acid that can kill harmful bacteria or prevent them from multiplying. Improves insulin sensitivity and helps lower blood sugar responses after meals.
Avocado Oil: Rich in healthy fat, and it’s an excellent choice for elevated temperature cooking.
Tamari and Coconut Aminos: I prefer Tamari and Coconut Aminos compared to conventional soy sauce because I can find it organic and gluten free. Coconut Aminos have 65% less sodium than traditional soy sauce.
Ginger: Is a reliable source of antioxidants and has potent anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger can play a key role in the health of your brain. Ginger can help protect against brain aging and cognitive decline.
