Nourished by Nutrition Facts:

Avocado – the ultimate beauty food in my opinion. This fiber-rich healthy fat helps give you luscious locks and clear, glowing skin. Avocados are a good source of vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, potassium and B vitamins. They’re full of healthy monounsaturated fat, the majority coming from oleic acid. Oleic acid is the main healthy fat in olive oil that is known for its heart-protective properties. Numerous studies have shown that avocado improves “bad” LDL and “good” HDL cholesterol, as well as blood triglycerides (1).

Microgreens – these little greens are small but mighty and don’t nearly get the attention they deserve. Microgreens are young vegetable greens that have a concentrated nutrient content, which means that they often contain higher amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than the same quantity of their mature plant. Studies have shown that the nutrient and antioxidant level of microgreens were up to 40 times higher than those recorded for more mature leaves (2). This means a little goes a long way!

Basil – fresh basil is known for it’s fresh herby taste but its often overlooked for antioxidant properties. The most common antioxidants are orientin and viceninare, which help support immune function and cell structure. Basil has been used in ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for ages for a wide variety of ailments ranging from big bites to blood pressure regulation. The extracts or essential oils of basil are now being studied because they provide concentrated amounts of plant compounds. New studies suggest benefits for controlling blood sugar and reducing stress (3) (4).
