WHY ARE THESE INGREDIENTS GOOD FOR YOU?

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. Larger tomatoes offer a decent amount of vitamin C and potassium which can lower blood sugar.

Cilantro also has a high concentration of antioxidants. Antioxidants offer protection against many degenerative diseases such as; Alzheimer’s, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Garlic is recognized for its ability to fight bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even parasites.

Jalapeños are rich in Vitamin A, C and potassium. They also have carotene, which is an antioxidant that may help fight damage to your cells–as well as folate, vitamin K and B vitamins.

Avocados are a wonderful source of vitamins C, E, K and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium! This super fruit also provides lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids!

Apart from its beneficial fatty acids, olive oil contains modest amounts of vitamins E and K. Olive oil is also loaded with powerful antioxidants that are biologically active and may reduce your risk of chronic disease.

Lemons containing high amount of vitamin C, soluble fiber, and plant compounds, have a number of health benefits. They may aid in weight loss and reduce your risk of heart disease, anemia, kidney stones, digestive issues, and some cancers.

Salt substitutes contain potassium chloride. Potassium chloride tastes somewhat like sodium chloride (ordinary table salt). Brands that offer salt substitutes include Morton, Nu-Salt, and NoSalt.
