SEAWEED | RICH IN MINERALS AND ANTIOXIDANTS
Seaweed is a nutrient-dense superfood that provides a wealth of vitamins and minerals, particularly iodine, calcium, and magnesium. Iodine is essential for thyroid function, while calcium supports bone health. Seaweed is also rich in antioxidants, which help fight inflammation and support overall immune health.
SESAME SEEDS | HEART-HEALTHY FATS AND CALCIUM
Sesame seeds are an excellent source of healthy fats, particularly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which support heart health. They are also rich in calcium, magnesium, and iron, providing benefits for bone strength, muscle function, and blood health. Additionally, sesame seeds contain lignans, which have antioxidant properties.
OLIVE OIL | ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND HEART-HEALTHY
Olive oil is packed with monounsaturated fats, which are known to reduce inflammation and support heart health. It also contains polyphenols and antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress, promote digestion, and improve skin health. Olive oil adds a rich, smooth flavor to your recipes while offering a host of health benefits.
GARLIC | IMMUNE BOOSTER AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Garlic is known for its immune-boosting properties, thanks to its high content of sulfur compounds, such as allicin. It supports heart health, regulates blood pressure, and has potent anti-inflammatory effects, making it an excellent addition to any recipe aiming to improve overall wellness.
