You may not realize that many of the foods in your kitchen right now can support wellness. While no single food is a cure-all, many ingredients can help the body function at its best.
Garlic contains a compound called allicin, which may support immune health and cardiovascular function.
Ginger While ginger is known to add flavor to many foods, it also supports digestion and reduces nausea.
Lemons – Lemons are high in vitamin C and antioxidants. Adding lemon to water can help with hydration and adds flavor to salads and other foods without any extra sugars.
Apple Cider Vinegar is typically used in salad dressings and many marinades. However, this naturally fermented liquid may help support healthy digestion and balance blood sugar. NOTE: Always dilute before drinking.
Honey – Raw honey contains antioxidants and has been used for centuries for sore throats and coughs. Locally sourced honey is often used to help alleviate allergy symptoms.
While none of these foods by themselves cure for disease, they can be an important part of a healthy diet. Include some or all of these in your next meal. Want to know more about using everyday foods to support your health? Contact us for a consultation.
