Avocado Facts
Avocados have become very popular in the last fifty years, but I still consider them relative newcomers to the United States. Avocados improve heart health; support eye, skin, and hair health; fight cancer cell growth; promote weight loss; enhance digestive health; protect against diabetes; and decrease arthritis symptoms.
Cilantro (Coriander) Facts
Cilantro is especially rich in Vitamin K, which aids in healthy blood clotting.
Garlic Facts
Garlic has been used as a traditional medicine as well as a food flavoring. It is a healthy and delicious addition to many dishes around the world. Its medicinal benefits for both cure and prevention require larger doses, which should be taken with the supervision and advice of a knowledgeable medical practitioner.
