Raspberries

Vitamins and minerals are abundant in Romanesco and calories are low, making it a nutrient-dense food that is ideal for the vegan diet. You’ll find vitamin C, A, and K as well as folate, dietary fiber (though slightly less than broccoli), iron, manganese, carotene, protein, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids in this pretty vegetable – along with so much more. It is a well-tolerated food for those who have sensitive stomachs. It improves and protects eyesight, boosts overall immune function, strengthens both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, benefits bone and muscle health, detoxifies the blood, and safeguards the central nervous system (spine, brain, and nerve pathways).

This is gaining popularity in recent years, and for good reason. It’s got all of the protein you’d want from a supergrain, and it’s got plenty of fiber. It also contains plenty of minerals like iron, magnesium, and manganese.

The real power behind their hue is beta-carotene, a provitamin that is converted to vitamin A in the body. Known for its immune-boosting powers, beta-carotene is essential for eye health and has also been linked to preventing coronary heart disease. The REAL treasure though is in the seeds. One ounce (about 140 seeds) is packed with protein, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Studies suggest pumpkin seeds provide a number of health benefits— such as blocking the enlargement of the prostate gland, lowering the risk of bladder stones, and helping to prevent depression. Plus, they contain high levels of phytosterols, which research suggests can reduce cholesterol and even help prevent some types of cancers

The top benefits of drinking it are that it can help with breast, prostate, and lung cancer. It’s also been shown to help with blood pressure, and can help prevent or even reverse plaque buildup in the arteries.

Nuts

Thursday was one hectic day, I thought I had scheduled this post but alas not (epic fail on my part :-() This is not the greatest of photos, it was just an iphone shot I had taken of a selection of nuts. I had issues yesterday uploading from my camera, hopefully I can get it sorted later on today.

These nuts were not the healthiest as they were salted, but thought I would use this shot anyway, phew the letter N is done!
